This essay considers acts and representations of “passing” across boundaries of race, sex, gender, and sexuality as productive for queer theory and politics. Looking at classic literary texts of racial passing and narratives of transgender passing, the essay seeks to bring elements of class and materiality in these boundary crossings to the fore. A close reading of these texts on “passing” will highlight the material and class elements in performances and readings of sex, sexuality, gender, and race. And as “passing” has become a primary site and source of queer theory, queer politics and theory must therefore deepen their engagement with class analysis without being fully encircled by it
