New open access books:
Decolonizing Queer Migration: Iranian Voices in Exile (Bristol
Univ. Press, March 2026) [open access]
- "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."
East African Queer and Trans Displacements (Bloomsbury, Feb. 2026)
[open access]
- "Bringing together diverse case studies and interdisciplinary
perspectives, this open access collection serves as the first in-depth
examination of queer and trans displacement in East Africa. ...The last
decade has seen a sharp rise in state-sponsored homophobia and transphobia
in East Africa. ...But East Africa cannot be reduced to a site from which
LGBTQI+ displacement emanates. Several countries in the region act as
either host countries or transit points, even as they produce LGBTQI+
refugees of their own. These complex social, political and legal dynamics
make East Africa a productive site for theorising queer and trans
displacement. The region offers insights into how, when and why LGBTQI+
Africans move, the social obstacles they face, and the different survival
strategies they deploy."
