Description
Discusses the absence of positive representations of gay men in contemporary Indigenous novels generally, and Welch’s novel specifically. Speculates that the editing out of non-heteronormative or queer identities is a result of colonial social structures in which the price of personhood is the performance of straight masculinity.
