The authors in this edited volume use a queer perspective to address colonialism as localized in the Global South, to analyze how the queer can be decolonized, and to map the implications of such conversations on hegemonic and alternative understandings of modernity.

brings together selected papers arising from the third annual Queering Paradigms conference. The chapters address contemporary theorizing about gay citizenship and ‘homonationalism’ as well as a critique of gay visibility. The authors examine the symbolics of queer subversion and transgression in performers who transgress gender and sexuality codes.
