Damien W. Riggs is associate professor in social work at Flinders University and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow.

Damien Riggs has assembled an international collection of exciting, new voices that reinvigorate discussions on racism in gay men’s communities. Given the resurgence of populist nationalism across Western nations, this is a timely reminder of the difficulties many of us face at the intersections of race and sexuality. This rich book examines a range of racisms (Islamophobia, Orientalism, homonationalism, and sexual racism), revealing the interconnections and overlaps between interpersonal, local, communal, and national contexts and how these in turn shape different experiences of both homophobia and racism. Riggs has consistently pushed the boundaries of psychology and social work in conversation with critical race and sexuality studies. He has done it again with this book.
