This dissertation explores the cross-section of queer and postcolonial literature from the second decade of the 21st century, particularly looking at representations of QTPOC (queer, trans, people of color) subjects. Drawing on queer theory and scholarship, postcolonial theory, critical race theory, and sexuality studies, I put forth a critical method titled queer revisioning. Queer revisioning examines the ways in which, within texts written by queer people, repeated narrative revisions in relation to time, space, and place create modes of survival and pleasure, and reframe often traumatic narratives. Queer revisioning interrogates the ways in which queer, transgender, and postcolonial individuals match their narratives to their personal identities by retelling their histories to make their present bearable, and by reframing their sexual and gender identities to access pleasure and euphoria. In Chapter 2, I read Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (2019) alongside Jeremy O. Harris's Slave Play (2019) and argue that despite differences in setting, these texts vividly depict intergenerational trauma, ancestral trauma, and memory, and offer alternative perspectives on historical, traumatic moments in time. In Chapter 3, I place NoViolet Bulawayo's We Need New Names (2013) and Arundhati Roy's The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017) in conversation with Ananya Jahanara Kabir's concept of a postcolonial practice of happiness, arguing that argue that an application of the concepts of queer temporalities and queer futurities to the lens of postcolonial happiness serves as a way to increase postcolonial resistance, reclaim pleasure, and resist disempowerment for the postcolonial subject. In Chapter 4 I analyze Akwaeke Emezi's Freshwater (2018) and argue that the character Ada rejects both compulsive heterosexuality and cisnormativity, by refarming her relationship to gender, accessible only through the conception and use of her "marble room and her relationship with the ọgbanje figures. In my conclusion chapter, I explore further uses of queer revisioning as a critical method and argue for representations of queer resilience and queer joy amidst shifting political climates.
