From Ramallah to New York, Tel Aviv to Porto Alegre, people around
the world celebrate a formidable, transnational Palestinian LGBTQ
social movement. Solidarity with Palestinians has become a salient
domain of global queer politics. Yet LGBTQ Palestinians, even as
they fight patriarchy and imperialism, are themselves subjected to
an "empire of critique" from Israeli and Palestinian institutions,
Western academics, journalists and filmmakers, and even fellow
activists. Such global criticism has limited growth and led to an
emphasis within the movement on anti-imperialism over the struggle
against homophobia. With this book, Sa'ed Atshan asks how
transnational progressive social movements can balance struggles
for liberation along more than one axis. He explores critical
junctures in the history of Palestinian LGBTQ activism, revealing
the queer Palestinian spirit of agency, defiance, and creativity,
in the face of daunting pressures and forces working to constrict
it. Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique explores the
necessity of connecting the struggles for Palestinian freedom with
the struggle against homophobia.
