Abstract

In recent years, MFS has published several special issues focusing on the fictions of class, race, gender, sexuality, and nationality/citizenship. "Fictions" in this sense refers not only to narrative literature, but more broadly to the social, cultural, biological, and ideological fictions that are manifested in and around literary texts. Racechange and the Fictions of Identity continues this trajectory, but is an especially fitting companion to Queer Fictions of Race, an MFS special issue guest-edited by Siobhan Somerville, which appeared in Winter 2002. The number of excellent submissions (far more than we could possibly publish) generated by the earlier issue led us to believe that, with a different inflection, we might continue the investigation of how narrative meditates on the coordinates of identity through both literal and figurative depictions of race.
