Notes

Ahmed defines the nonperformative as “the ‘reiterative and citational practice by which discourse’ does not produce” (Butler, qtd. in Ahmed 117).

I purposely use the terminology queer white women and women of color of various sexual identifications so that I do not render anyone invisible through my own discourse.
