Résumé
Howard Cruse’s Stuck Rubber Baby (1995) is a coming-out narrative and a graphic memoir about the civil rights movement in a fictional town in Alabama. It engages with the regime of visuality that renders some minorities invisible, as well as with the need for visibility that comes with political engagement. This essay examines the intersection of race and gender by focusing on the issues of visibility and invisibility. Cruse’s graphic novel provides an intersectional picture of what being denied representation and recognition implies. Having been made aware of what being invisible as a subaltern means, the reader realizes the importance of looks of acceptance and recognition given across the lines of race and gender.
