]]> Comment on Heather has two mommies and they’re both caucasian and moneyed: unsaids in international ‘queer’ children’s literature by Seema manzur http://www.darkmatter101.org/site/2010/09/28/heather-has-two-mommies/comment-page-1/#comment-58883 Seema manzur Wed, 13 Oct 2010 23:46:59 +0000 http://www.darkmatter101.org/site/?p=1893#comment-58883 This is a great article. As a lesbian parent I think there should be more books out there that deal with these issue's. I have a copy of "King and King" and I will certainly go back and re-read it after reading this article.

I have been tinkering around the edges of critiquing similar books (as a white gay parent myself) and really do hope that it results in books that actually do a better job of representing queer families, as well as of course exploring the whiteness of mainstream queer parenting. Some of my stuff has appeared previously in darkmatter (touching on similar issues of adoption, queerness, and whiteness), and another paper specifically on race, sexuality and these books has appeared in journal of GLBT family studies (http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all~content=a902832783~frm=titlelink). I look forward to reading more of your work in the future :) Just wanted to say that this is a great piece, Dervla :) I really enjoyed the nuanced nature of your analysis and hope that parents/authors/communities take heed of your findings.
