What happens to sexual and gender identities when crossing borders under duress?
This book offers an unprecedented account of how forced migration shapes the lives of queer Iranian individuals. Tracing movements from Iran through transition countries to Western resettlement, the book explores how identities are expressed, negotiated, silenced and reimagined along the way. Engaging de/postcolonial theory and participatory methods, the authors centre the voices of non-heterosexual and non-cisnormative Iranians in exile.
This is an essential study for scholars of sexuality, migration and Middle Eastern studies seeking to understand queerness in global displacement.
