The tales weave in and out of the text and work to articulate gender in unsuspecting spaces. Together, we reconsider gender through multiple locations at once. I offer an autoethnography of multiracial tales: a simultaneous telling of embodiment as it manifests in my multiracial body. Rather than privileging one \u201cside\u201d of the family over another, I experiment with a concurrent telling. That is, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/multivocality\" target=\"_blank\">multivocality<\/a> in one body. To help anchor the telling, I use the academy as an assemblage of meaning. In the end, I find that my White family resists and rejects my queer masculinity because of my pursuit of higher education while my Asian family embraces my queer masculinity because of the same pursuit. These stories can only be known when told and processed concurrently; never alone, and never separate.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/qix.sagepub.com\/content\/20\/1\/51.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telling Multiracial Tales: An Autoethnography of Coming Out Home Qualitative Inquiry Volume 20, Number 1 (January 2014) pages 51-60 DOI: 10.1177\/1077800413508532 Benny LeMaster Southern Illinois University, Carbondale What follows are experimental autoethnographic tales of ambiguous embodiment.
