Introduction : "there is no hierarchy of oppressions" -- LGBTQ Palestinians and the politics of the ordinary -- Global solidarity and the politics of pinkwashing -- Transnational activism and the politics of boycotts -- Media, film, and the politics of representation -- Critique of empire and the politics of academia -- Conclusion : "we were never meant to survive".
"This book traces of the rise, international growth, and plateau of the LGBTQ movement in Palestine. Sa'ed Atshan argues that queer Palestinian activists, even as they critique empire, are themselves subjected to an empire of critique.
