Tracing movements from Iran through transition countries to Western resettlement, the book explores how identities are expressed, negotiated, silenced, and reimagined along the way. Engaging de/postcolonial theory and participatory methods, the authors centre the voices of non-heterosexual and non-cisnormative Iranians in exile.This is an essential study for scholars of sexuality, migration, and Middle Eastern studies seeking to understand queerness in global displacement.
