Drawing on ethnographic encounters with self-identified gay men in
Iran, this book explores the construction, enactment, and veiling
and unveiling of gay identity and same-sex desire in the capital
city of Tehran. The research draws on diverse interpretive,
historical, online and empirical sources in order to present
critical and nuanced insights into the politics of recognition and
representation and the constitution of same-sex desire under the
specific conditions of Iranian modernity. As it engages with
accounts of the persecuted Iranian gay male subject as a victim of
the barbarism of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the book addresses
interpretive questions of sexuality governance in transnational
contexts and attends to issues of human rights frameworks in
weighing social justice and political claims made by and on behalf
of sexual and gender minorities. The book thus combines empirical
data with a critical consideration of the politics of same-sex
desire for Iranian gay men.
