Drawing on border thinking, postcolonial and transnational
feminisms, and queer theory, Gender, Sexuality and Identities of
the Borderlands brings an intersectional feminist and queer lens to
understandings of borderlands, liminality, and lives lived at the
margins of socio-cultural and sexual normativities. Bringing
together new and contemporary interdisciplinary research from
across diverse global contexts, this collection explores the lived
experiences of what Gloria Anzaldua might have called 'threshold
people', people who live among and in-between different worlds.
While it is often challenging, difficult, and even dangerous,
inhabiting marginal spaces, living at the borders of
socio-cultural, religious, sexual, ethnic, or gendered norms can
create possibilities for developing unique ways of seeing and
understanding the worlds within which we live. This collection
casts a spotlight on the margins, those 'queer spaces' in literary,
cinematic, and cultural borderlands; postcolonial and transnational
feminist perspectives on movement and migration; and critical
analyses of liminal lives within and between socio-cultural
borders. Each chapter within this unique book brings a critical
insight into diverse global human experiences in the 21st Century.
