Queer Sites in Global Contexts showcases a variety of cross-cultural perspectives that foreground the physical and online experiences of LGBTQ+ people living in the Caribbean South and North America the Middle East Europe and Asia. The individual chapters-a collection of research-based texts by scholars around the world-provide twelve compelling case studies: queer sites that include buildings digital networks natural landscapes urban spaces and non-normative bodies. By prioritizing divergent histories and practices of queer life in geographies that are often othered by dominant queer studies in the West-female sex workers people of color indigenous populations Latinx communities trans identities migrants-the book constructs thoroughly situated nuanced discussions on queerness through a variety of research methods. The book presents tangible examples of empirical research and practice-based work in the fields of queer and gender studies; geography architectural and urban theory; and media and digital culture. Responding to the critical absence surrounding experiences of non-White queer folk in Western academia Queer Sites in Global Contexts acts as a timely resource for scholars activists and thinkers interested in queer placemaking practices-both spatial and digital-of diverse cultures. |Queer Sites in Global Contexts Technologies Spaces and Otherness | Sociology
