How sexuality and sexual orientation intersect with gender, race,
ethnicity, and religion in the ongoing formation of national
identity
Modern nations and nation states constitute themselves through
the construction of others, located outside the bounds of the
imagined community. People who are thus defined as outsiders often
respond by seeking inclusion in the very terms through which they
are being excluded. The dynamics of identity politics frequently
have been studied from the perspective of these "outsider" groups.
But how does this dynamic play out in the construction of the
"national imaginary"? How do nations themselves respond to identity
politics, especially the politics of sexuality and sexual
orientation?
A Nation by Rights looks at the connections between national
cultures, sexuality, and rights. Through five case studies, Stychin
examines how sexuality and sexual orientation intersect with
gender, race, ethnicity, and religion in the ongoing formation of
national identity in an era of increasing economic, political, and
cultural globalization.
