Liveable Lives: Living and Surviving LGBTQ Equalities in India and the UK de Niharika Banerjea

Liveable Lives: Living and Surviving LGBTQ Equalities in India and the UK

Autor Niharika Banerjea, Kath Browne
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2023
Liveable Lives examines what makes life liveable for LGBTQ+ people beyond equality reforms. It refuses the colonizing narrative of surviving in a 'regressive' Global South and thriving in a 'progressive' Global North. By linking the concept of liveability with the decolonial literature on sexualities, this open access book draws on individual's stories, art and writing to examine how lives become liveable across India and the UK, providing a multifaceted investigation of two divergent contexts where activists refuse local framings of exclusion/inclusion and LGBTQ+ lives are continually re-envisioned. Embracing diverse methodologies, including workshops, in-depth interviews, street theatres, and web surveys, the book stands as an example of a queer collaborative praxis that refuses the familiar Global North / Global South practices of theorizing and data gathering.

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.
