Lives That Resist Telling

ISBN-13: 9780367695378 / Miękka / 2023 / 106 str.

Opis

This book challenges the resounding scholarly silence about the lives of migrant women who identify as lesbian, queer, or nonheteronormative by complicating and rework binaries of visibility/invisibility, in/out, victim/agent, home/homeless, and belonging/unbelonging.
