Racism, homophobia and sexism are not inherently different. This generalization is supported by the theory of intersectionality, which can best be described as a feminist epistemological tool that exposes the interrelatedness between different forms of oppression. Postcolonial authors must, therefore, actively engage with queer/feminist theory in their depictions of race and critiques against racism throughout their works or, at least, allow other scholars to scrutinize their texts to see how they fare in comparison to the main tenets of queer/feminist theory. It is my prerogative to implement the second of these two options in an exploratory close reading of two highly recognizable postcolonial works, both of which are at the forefront of revolutionizing race and questioning racist tendencies against so called ‘others’. Tomson Highway's “The Rez Sisters” and Ishmael Reed's Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down exemplify principles of queer/feminist theory by destabilizing heteronormativity and patriarchy through the portrayal of differing sexual orientations, the deconstruction of binary opposites and the creation of a new aesthetic, all of which highlight the multiplicities of gender and bestow the power of voice onto two minorities, namely the LGBTQIA community and women, who have far too often been silenced and relegated to overtly oppressed social statuses in Eastern and Western societies.
