Lives That Resist Telling challenges the resounding scholarly
silence about the lives of migrant women who identify as lesbian,
queer, or nonheteronormative. Reworking social science
methodologies and theories, the essays explore the experiences of
migrant Latina lesbians in Los Angeles; Latina lesbians whose
transnational lives span the borders between the United States and
Mexico; non-heteronormative migrant Muslim women in Norway and
Denmark; economically privileged Chinese lesbian or lala women in
Australia; and Iranian lesbian asylum-seekers in Turkey. The
authors show how state migration controls and multiple institutions
of power try to subjectify and govern migrant lesbians in often
contradictory ways, and how migrant lesbians cope, strategize, and
respond. The essays complicate and rework binaries of
visibility/invisibility, in/out, victim/agent, home/homeless, and
belonging/unbelonging. Tellability emerges as a technology of power
and violence, and conversely, as a mode of healing, (re)building a
sense of self and connection to others, and creating conditions for
livability and queer world-making. This book was first published as
a special issue of the Journal of Lesbian Studies.
