Recenzii
Liveable Lives is timely contribution to queer scholarship in decoding gender-sexual politics within the homonationalist discourse when the idea of a progressive nation majorly pivots on juridico-political legislative reforms, including equalities legislation around employment, same sex marriage, adoption and parental rights, etc. Following real life experiences of LGBTIQ+-identifying citizens in the UK and India, the book raises politically nuanced questions while debunking hegemonic gender-sexual practices and normative regimes of liveability - say, homonormativity - which are integral to nationalist imaginaries of assimilating queers.
Liveable Lives is a positive and critical assessment of the multiple and contradictory ways in which our LGBTQ lives become liveable across two nations, India and Great Britain. Building on Butler's 'good life', the authors extend understandings of liveabilities through decolonial reflections and participants' narratives. Creative transnational methodologies produce rich accounts of legal reforms and citizen rights, the everydayness of living and surviving, and the power of street theatre and workshops. This book is a vibrant and compelling framework for social transformation.
A fascinating and transgressive book on what makes the lives of LGBTQ people liveable from a feminist queer approach. A great example of how to explore the understandings of liveabilities through transnational activist/academic engagements and through the application of a nuanced feminist and decolonial framework.
