Mildréd Gerestant). For Braziel, these individuals confront the gendered, sexualized, and racialized boundaries of America's diaspora communities and openly resist \"domestic\" imperialism that targets immigrants, minorities, women, gays, and queers. This is a groundbreaking study at the intersections of gender and sexuality with race, ethnicity, nationality, and diaspora.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJana Evans Braziel is Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Cincinnati and author of \u003ci\u003eDiaspora: An Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e\"Caribbean Genesis\" Jamaica Kincaid and the Writing of New Worlds.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.99 x 9.21 x 6.29 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 27, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45303395582054,"sku":"9780253219787","price":55.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/S2dvWkZ2ZGJsWjhiQnJlSVg5ZTNJZz09.webp?v=1774018229","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/artists-performers-and-black-masculinity-in-the-haitian-diaspora-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
