Abstract
In this chapter, three LGBTIQ African refugees who have been resettled to the U.S. stage performances of belonging that insist upon seemingly contradictory desires to assimilate into neoliberal capitalist social formations while simultaneously indexing critiques of these very structures of power. The chapter draws on theorizations of fantasy and subjectivity from political theory, queer theory, and performance studies to suggest that these performances of self offer an expansive political model of belonging: to self, community, and nation that might be particularly necessary in contemporary shifts in political economy in the United States. I work to contribute a queer critique to existing scholarship on the role of imagination and fantasy in studies of refugee subjectivity and agency.
