Beskrivning

Over recent decades, LGBTQ people have successfully fought for civil and reproductive rights across Western states, including the right to marry, have children and serve openly as public servants and in the armed forces. Internationally, states have started to use their stance on homonormativity to position themselves as progressive. This book provides new insights into the role played by race, sexuality, and gender by analysing contemporary constructions of Swedishness through LGBTQ rights by using three specific case studies:•a “pride parade” organised by the Swedish populist right;•Swedish Armed Forces’ marketing material;•a social media account by and for racialised LGBTQ people.

Recensioner i media

“Boundaries of Queerness navigates the interplay between race, nationhood, and sexuality. Through illuminating case studies in Sweden, Kehl both unveils and dismantles homonationalist narratives, offering critical insights into the complexities of LGBTQ politics and the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Its lessons about the constructions of nationhood and non-belonging are far-reaching – relevant for Sweden and beyond.” Phillip Ayoub, University College London
