SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Discourses on LGBT asylum in the UK offers a critical overview of debates and cultural productions, exploring their political ramifications for refugees and UK sexual citizens. The book looks at the specificities of the exclusion of LGBT refugees, to show how the cultural politics of queer migration help us rethink emancipatory sexual politics.
