{"product_id":"queerly-cosmopolitan-timothy-eugene-murphy-9783030002954","title":"Queerly Cosmopolitan: Bohemia and Belonging in a Brazilian Middle-Of-Nowhere City","description":"An ethnography of urban citizenship, global belonging, and queerness in a rapidly growing provincial city in the Global South, Queerly Cosmopolitan explores how people develop a sense of belonging in a city understood by many to be \"unimportant\" and \"in the middle of nowhere.\" In his exploration of the city of Teresina and its inhabitants' attempts to establish a sense of belonging and self-worth, Timothy Eugene Murphy creatively employs queer theory to investigate a community of bohemians. As he follows the participants through different realms of life--nocturnal bohemia, work, family, and intimate friendships--Murphy demonstrates how widely circulating cultural forms, from music to sexuality, offer upwardly mobile communities ways to fashion cosmopolitan lives in even the most peripheral locations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Eugene Murphy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030002950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030002954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Timothy Eugene Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44228015390975,"sku":"9783030002954","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d07f2ebc-c261-49bb-9792-3ed00679bff4.jpg?v=1692811591","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queerly-cosmopolitan-timothy-eugene-murphy-9783030002954","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
