There are some pieces that really raised a lot of questions for me--specifically, the roundtable of queers of color made me really reflect on where Two-Spirit queers fit into narratives of queers of color (claiming there are very few people of color in the Twin Cities when, for me, it has the most visible Native population of any place I have ever lived in, which is complicated! And I wished had been addressed by the roundtable, but wasn't) really challenged me to think hard about what my role as a white settler in supporting BIPOC members of my community, especially as someone who is living here.
All of the pieces in this are interesting in their own ways, though it is interesting to see the intellectual well from which each of the authors is collectively drawing (Miranda Joseph's Against the Romance of Community is cited about 800,000 times, which makes sense but is also funny to see.)
