Sulaimon Giwa’s aptly named Racism and Gay Men of Color arrives at a time when many of the sociocultural issues it raises have come to national attention. Yet gay men of color in Canadian GLBT communities are still subject to racism and excluded, both online and offline. If a gay man of color is not the “right” color, he is often the recipient of stereotypical racial epithets and denied sexual approbation within an erotic world where sexual desires are structured along the lines of race, ethnicity, age, disability, and class. Giwa warns against the denial that underlies much of this monolithic racism and highlights the strategies used by gay men of color to counter racism in their communities and to lead strong, effective lives. This important book will inspire advocates and activists, students and scholars, and will become indispensable in university and college courses on sexuality and race studies.

Gay men of color often encounter double discrimination based on their sexuality and ethnicity. Giwa, who is gay, explores the latter in this account of racist interactions within Ottawa’s gay community. Based on the author's PhD dissertation, the book offers extensive commentary on the academic literatures regarding racism, homosexuality, and coping mechanisms. Giwa also draws on focus group interviews with 13 men of African, South and East Asian, and Arab backgrounds, although no Indigenous Canadians are included. Despite the pride Canadians take in their national congeniality and tolerance, Ottawa seems a hotbed of gay men who, consciously or not, subscribe to white supremacy. Most of Giwa’s subjects deal with such microaggressions as being ignored in bars and online dating platforms and feeling invisible in gay media, service organizations, and with white men whose stereotypes erase their individuality. Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.
