The Child Now Paperback – Sept. 13 2016

Futurity, innocence, and childish subversion—as concepts, as frameworks—have yet to catch up to where the child has moved in the present century. The contributors explore topics that are both vital and challenging for current queer studies, including paradoxical exportations of the US "innocent" child abroad, the queer child under same-sex marriage law, child revolutionaries' actions in Egypt, and the colonial afterlife of the boarding school for indigenous children. Following the twists and turns of children now, contributors to this issue confront how race, gender, and sexuality are made to live and grow in children’s bodies. Contributors: Paul Amar, Julian Gill-Peterson, Clifford J. Rosky, Rebekah Sheldon, Kathryn Bond Stockton, Mary Zaborskis
