Terms of Exclusion: Rightful Citizenship Claims and the Construction of Lgbt Political Identity

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the evolution of the LGBT community in the US, Zein Murib explores how identity-based social and political movements emerged through strategic "rightful citizenship claims." The book highlights how these claims prioritized the recognition of white, gender-normative, monogamously partnered individuals, often sidelining other community members. Murib argues that this within-group marginalization is a deliberate discursive strategy, not merely a byproduct of political expediency, aimed at gaining acceptance from lawmakers and society.
