This book analyses fifteen years of debate, media narrative, policy
documents and artistic production to uncover the way sexual
citizenship is reshaped by LGBT asylum. Asylum discourses, with
their many harrowing stories, have proved a powerful platform for
discussion of the sexual rights of those who are not citizens. The
forces involved, from the state to LGBT or asylum activists,
compete with each other for the redefinition of what progressive
sexual politics should be. This book assesses the consequences of
persisting colonial imaginaries on the representation of sexual
freedom, as well as of the neoliberal management of asylum for LGBT
asylum seekers. The book explores the contradictory role of
political emotions such as sympathy, which constitutes both a basis
for solidarity and a means of dispossessing claimants of their
agency, and finally discusses how optimism can be queered in asylum
discourses. -- .
