Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 1999.
In my dissertation I argue that insufficient attention has been given by queer theory, gender studies, and postcolonial studies to the globalization of liberal discourses of modern queer sexualities. I use the notion of "queer liberation" to highlight the tendencies for diasporic as well as human rights discourses to erase the local specificities of labor and migration patterns, community formations, and shifting ideologies of nation, gender, class, ethnicity, and race. As a case study I focus on Indo-Trinidadian populations and their relationships to both Afro-Trinidadians and diasporic South Asians. I concentrate on the processes of globalization and the ways in which transnational discourses of gender and sexuality are apprehended and recast. Trinidad is a contradictory site of modernity that defies the conventional tradition---modern telos often ascribed to the 'non-west.' Trinidad is not of the 'west,' but hardly outside of it either, and it signals the complexities of locating the travels of gendered and sexual ideologies.

Chapter one traces the contradictory emergence of a "gay and lesbian movement" in Trinidad, reflective of recent shifts in public as well as legislative discourses on sexuality, growing racial tensions, the globalization of "Indianness," and the promotion of human rights agendas. Chapter two examines practices of gender and racial sites of drag and transgender identity in Trinidad, locating the competing demands of both sexual and racial/ethnic/national loyalties. In chapter three I query the potential of a queer/ed ethnography which is multi-sited, examining both fieldwork practices as well as the representational and methodological impossibilities of narrating sexual political subjects. Chapter four utilizes the trope of "queer visibility" and traces circuits of spectatorship back to the diaspora, looking at tourist practices and the cultural politics of queer asylum petitions. Ultimately this project asks queerness to imagine a different relationship to state and racial belonging while also suggesting new frameworks of race and ethnicity in transnational and postcolonial work that can address the presence of gendered subjects.
