Brown trans subjects are treated as deceptive\, unnatural\, nonexistent\, or impossible\, their bodies\, lives\, and material circumstances represented through tropes and used as metaphors. Restoring personhood and agency to these subjects\, Francisco J. Galarte advances “brown trans figuration” as a theoretical framework to describe how transness and brownness coexist within the larger queer\, trans\, and Latinx historical experiences. \nBrown Trans Figurations presents a collection of representations that reveal the repression of brown trans narratives and make that repression visible and palpable. Galarte examines the violent deaths of two transgender Latinas and the corresponding narratives that emerged about their lives\, analyzes the invisibility of brown transmasculinity in Chicana feminist works\, and explores how issues such as transgender politics can be imagined as part of Chicanx and Latinx political movements. This book considers the contexts in which brown trans narratives appear\, how they circulate\, and how they are reproduced in politics\, sexual cultures\, and racialized economies.
