This collection investigates the intersection of queer theory with legal frameworks, cultural production, and imperial power structures. Editors Robert Leckey and Kim Brooks assemble a multidisciplinary group of scholars to examine how sexual subalterns navigate state governance, international law, and societal norms. The text argues that queer identity is not merely a personal status but a site of political contestation that challenges traditional notions of rights, reproduction, and citizenship.
