“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
