| Summary |
In this special issue a reassessment of the political utility of queer. Sixteen timely essays explore national and global crises and broadly examine the limits of queer diasporas, and the emergence of what might be called queer liberalism. Recently scholars in the field have produced a significant body of work on theories of race, on problems of transnationalism, on conflicts between global capital and labor, on issues of diaspora and immigration, and on questions of citizenship, national belonging, and necropolitics. |
