LGBTQ+ Activism in Central and Eastern Europe: Resistance, Representation and Identity

Editat de Radzhana Buyantueva, Maryna Shevtsova
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2020
This edited collection offers in-depth perspectives into the emergence and development of LGBTQ+ movements in Central and Eastern Europe, including analysis of Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia and Ukraine. The book examines various issues faced by local LGBTQ+ activists, as well as the tactics and strategies which they develop and adopt. The contributors discuss the applicability of Western ideas and concepts to the post-socialist context, considering their ability to fully tackle local nuances and complexities with regards to sexuality and, thus, the dynamics of LGBTQ+ activism. The volume examines differences in the domestic policies of these countries and the consequent effects on LGBTQ+ activism in the region. It also offers important insights into the impact of Western actors in promoting liberal democratic values in the region, and ensuing political and social backlashes.
LGBTQ+ Activism in Central and Eastern Europe will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including Gender and Sexuality Studies, Sociology, Anthropology and Political Science.

Recenzii

“This volume is a valuable contribution to the growing literature on queer issues across the region. The ever-increasing pressure placed upon the LGBTQ+ community across Central and Eastern Europe demonstrates the urgent need to give these communities voice and focus on local issues, something that this publication does well.” (Abigail Karas, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 73 (3), March 22, 2021)
