Friendship as Social Justice Activism brings together academics and
activists to have essential conversations about friendship, love,
and desire as kinetics for social justice movements. The
contributors featured here come from across the globe and are all
involved in diverse movements, including LGBTQ rights,
intimate-partner violence, addiction recovery, housing, migrant,
labor, and environmental activism. Each essay narrates how living
and organizing within friendship circles offers new ways of
dreaming and struggling for social justice. Recent scholarship in
different disciplinary fields as well as activist literature have
brought attention to the political possibilities within friendship.
The essays, memoirs, poems, and artwork in Friendship as Social
Justice Activism address these political possibilities within the
context of gender, sexuality, and economic justice movements.
The first book to look critically at digital technologies and the
role they play within queer lives in contemporary India This
pioneering interdisciplinary collection works across mainstream and
alternative spaces such as Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Grindr and
gay men's health websites. These digital platforms are then
situated within the contemporary socio-political conjuncture in
India, offering a way of understanding queerness and Indian-ness in
contemporary India. Queering in this book does not simply refer to
a sexual category rather queerness is a mode of dispossession
through which certain bodies are rendered as bodies marked for
discipline and regulation. This book takes on diverse strands of
queer theory in order to name the ways neoliberalism, nationalism,
digital technologies, and movements for queer rights converge with
each other within present day India. This analytical approach to
queerness in India is the first of its kind and the result is a
pioneering interdisciplinary collection.
