Özet, vb.
“This is an important collection of works that delves into some of the more sensitive and controversial forms of intersectionality: Islam, gender, and sexuality. Highly informative and insightful, the chapters not only contextualize and focus on the nuanced complexities, but also through theory and lived experiences open a path for an integrative and inclusive way forward.” —Nick J. Mulé, York University, Canada “Queer/Muslim/Canadian: Identities, Experiences, and Belonging is a timely and indispensable volume that illuminates the intricacies of power dynamics that shape the multifaceted identities and experiences of Queer Muslims in Canada. Through their skillful use of intersectional analytics and careful transnational considerations, the editors and contributors invite readers to rethink in depth the contours of Queer Muslim existence in Canada in a conjuncture fraught by heightened Islamophobia.” —Sirma Bilge, University of Montreal, Canada This book presents original qualitative research on the lives, identities, and experiences of queer Canadian Muslims and is the largest study to date on this population. Presented through a queer intersectional framework, the volume contains core evidence-based chapters on the lived experience, as well as the transnational politics of Islamophobia and LGBTQ+ rights promotion, the research on Muslim attitudes to queer issues, and the representations of queer Muslim issues within Canada. Key issues covered include: queer Muslim organizing, how queer Muslims reconcile faith, sexuality and gender identity through affirmative and liberatory frameworks and actions, how Muslims in Canada respond to sexual and gender diversity. The contributors also lay out future academic and research possibilities for further investigation and for the development of equity practices for recognizing and challenging the oppressions suffered by queer Muslims, addressing the discussion to queer Muslims as well as mainstream LGBTQ+ groups and mainstream Muslim groups.
