Weiss -- Homophobia as a tool of statecraft : Iran and its queers / Katarzyna Korycki and Abouzar Nasirzadeh -- Navigating international rights and local politics : sexuality governance in postcolonial settings / Sami Zeidan -- Theorizing the politics of (homo)sexualities across cultures / Mark Blasius -- Conclusion : on the interplay of state homophobia and homoprotectionism / Christine (Cricket) Keating.

Summary: While homophobia is commonly characterized as individual and personal prejudice, this collection of essays instead explores homophobia as a transnational political phenomenon. Contributors theorize homophobia as a distinct configuration of repressive state-sponsored policies and practices with their own causes, explanations, and effects on how sexualities are understood and experienced in a range of national contexts.
