> I guess the situations I'm more speaking of come when allies or whomever maybe want to ask a question or disagree with something, but they are attacked for doing so, and I think that this might be harmful to the movement as a whole. Not because it makes people want to leave or anything, but more because it forces one narrative upon everyone.

Fair point. I guess I would say that, if you have questions or concerns, it might be better to do some homework on the side before going to said friend. Even simple questions carry a cost in intellectual and emotional labor, and when you're on the raggedy edge and just trying to survive, it can be a lot.

>Something that really opened my eyes to this problem was when a new friend of mine was telling me how tired he is that Black writers are always looked at in light of their race. He is an aspiring writer (who is Black) and he worries that his work will always be seen as "a Black writer's work." This one narrative that race absolutely always plays an integral role in a person's identity is something that has actually come to haunt him.

I mean, yeah, I get that. I'm a freelance writer and journalists, and when I get some steady work or I land a break there's always that part of me that's like, "did I get this because my work is good? or because I'm trans?" I'm proud of my queer identity but I also want to be known for more than just that, and I don't want to be anyone's token. At the same time, I realize that representation matters and I've got to make space for others to come after me.

Having said all that, you can't necessarily separate the work from the author. You can't read Junot Diaz and ignore his race. If you ignore the elements of Islamic culture in Throne Of The Crescent Moon, not only are you disrespecting Saladin Ahmed, you're disrespecting the work. I typically think most criticism of postmodernism is overblown, but I would give anything to get people to not take Barthes' Death Of The Author so dang seriously. Authors give too much of themselves to their work that there can never be a clear break.

And anyway, when it comes to literature (or any kind of creative field) PoC folks are typically erased and their identities are folded into a default whiteness. And I really think that justice and progress are best served by not erasing differences. Your writer friend's work may not be, and should not be, boiled down exclusively to his blackness. But his black identity isn't nothing, either.
