National Politics and Sexuality in Transregional Perspective - Achim Rohde - Bog

This pathbreaking book focusses on perceptions of 'self¿ and ¿other¿ in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa from a gendered perspective. It deals with anti-LGBTQI as well as LGBTQI-friendly aspects of modern culture and politics in countries within these regions, focussing on the functions such discursive markers play in nationalist and racist imageries, in discourses legitimizing class differences from the 19th century to the present day, including globalized discourses in the context of 9/11 and its aftermath.
