"Boys Abducted" by Abdulhamit Arvas @a-arvas.bsky.social is one of our amazing new April titles! #LiteraryTheory #QueerTheory
buff.ly/NbdnfYi
Cover of Boys Abducted: The Homocrotics of Empire and Race in Early Modernity by Abdulhamit Arvas. The dark background features the title in a large, elegant serif font, with "Abducted" staggered over abstract artwork. The cover art is an abstract painting with expressive brushstrokes depicting figures in vibrant colors—red, blue, white, and gold—engaged in a chaotic scene. One of the figures appears to be carrying off another.
