Abstract

Jenkins performs an intersectional, feminist textual analysis of the first four seasons (2009–2012) of RuPaul’s Drag Race (RPDR) and its spinoff show, RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked!, to answer the question: How does RPDR reinforce or subvert racial and ethnic stereotypes? Jenkins employs theory from a number of disciplines, including critical race theory and multiple feminist theories. The contestants featured in the chapter include BeBe Zahara Benet, Alexis Mateo, Carmen Carrera, Madame LaQueer, Kenya Michaels, Manila Luzon, and Raja. Jenkins concludes that although RPDR does engage in some subversive behavior on an intersectional level, it ultimately reinforces harmful racist and xenophobic stereotypes.
