An ethnography of urban citizenship, global belonging, and
queerness in a rapidly growing provincial city in the Global South,
Queerly Cosmopolitan explores how people develop a sense of
belonging in a city understood by many to be "unimportant" and "in
the middle of nowhere." In his exploration of the city of Teresina
and its inhabitants' attempts to establish a sense of belonging and
self-worth, Timothy Eugene Murphy creatively employs queer theory
to investigate a community of bohemians. As he follows the
participants through different realms of life-nocturnal bohemia,
work, family, and intimate friendships-Murphy demonstrates how
widely circulating cultural forms, from music to sexuality, offer
upwardly mobile communities ways to fashion cosmopolitan lives in
even the most peripheral locations.
