Critical Articulations of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation is a thought provoking text, which examines notions of intersectionality and identity. Dr. Howard masterfully curates a volume that brings together critical perspectives to challenge heteronormative discourses around identity, while centering the lived experiences of LGBTQI persons of color. This text provides much needed intellectual insight into the conversation of identity negotiation and communicative processes.
