"How can we talk about analogies drawn by fiction between geographical, erotic, and formal mobility? What does it mean when a male character's movements resemble both a privileged kind of wandering and queerly suggestive cruising? Or when a male protagonist's sexual magnetism becomes a force for both social disorder and imperialist expansion? In this analysis of works by five British and American authors, Daniel Hannah examines how masculine mobility--and often specifically transatlantic mobility--both enacts and queerly disorients male privilege, even as that same mobility works as a kind of unstable master trope behind the restless experimentation of modernist fiction. Where the "new modernist studies" has sought to diversify the canon, Queer Atlantic addresses established writers (Melville, Stevenson, James, Conrad, and Ford), arguing for the significance of anxieties about white, masculine privilege and queer potential to their broadening of the novel's formal possibilities. Hannah places these writers in the context of their responses to debates about naval impressment, piracy, emigration, colonization, and the "new imperialism." In the process, he also raises significant questions about the current field of queer ethics, highlighting the strange companionship of queer openness to otherness and imperialist thought for modernist writing. Turning, in its final pages, to examine the surprising resilience of such fictional structures for a more diverse set of American writers after World War One, Queer Atlantic opens out a new understanding of modernism's emergence from a troubling of masculine privilege, mobility, and desire."--

Part of the American Literatures Initiative Series Beyond the Nation charts an expansive history of Filipino literature in the U.S., forged within the dual contexts of imperialism and migration, from the early twentieth century into the twenty-first. Martin Joseph Ponce theorizes and enacts a queer diasporic reading practice that attends to the complex crossings of race and nation with gender and sexuality. Tracing the conditions of possibility of Anglophone Filipino literature to U.S. colonialism in the Philippines in the early twentieth century, the book examines how a host of writers from across the century both imagine and address the Philippines and the United States, inventing a variety of artistic lineages and social formations in the process. Beyond the Nation considers a broad array of issues, from early Philippine nationalism, queer modernism, and transnational radicalism, to music-influenced and cross-cultural poetics, gay male engagements with martial law and popular culture, second-generational dynamics, and the relation between reading and revolution. Ponce elucidates not only the internal differences that mark this literary tradition but also the wealth of expressive practices that exceed the terms of colonial complicity, defiant nationalism, or conciliatory assimilation. Moving beyond the nation as both the primary analytical framework and locus of belonging, Ponce proposes that diasporic Filipino literature has much to teach us about alternative ways of imagining erotic relationships and political communities.
