Queer and Trans Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
Queer and Trans Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
Description
An examination of the identities, histories, communities, and experiences of queer and trans Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders using a queering, decolonial lens in national and global contexts.
This book explores the intersection of historical contexts, research, cultural identities and values frameworks, and current sociopolitical issues experienced by queer and trans Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Rooted in queer and decolonial theories, the book encourages readers to challenge and explore the very definitions of what it means to be queer, Asian, and American.
The authors seek to make visible the organizations and people who have traditionally been left out of history, while exploring how queer and trans Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders engage with their ancestry, negotiate their identities and values, build communities, and imagine future directions.
Although primarily focused on the United States, the book also explores relevant queer regional conversations across Asia to analyze the impact of global conversations, movements, and migration on queer and trans Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Detailed profiles spotlight individuals and organizations advocating for their communities. First-hand accounts are woven throughout this book to provide real-world perspectives on chapter topics.
