The Routledge International Handbook of Global Asexualities and Aromanticisms is a first-of-its-kind volume bringing together scholarship and activism on asexualities and aromanticisms from across the world. Including contributions from Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa, this collection speaks to the nuances of asexual and aromantic lived practices, embodiments, and relationalities across geopolitical contexts.Bringing attention to new global scholarship and writing on asexuality and aromanticism within and beyond identitarian frameworks, this volume pushes the limits of how asexualities and aromanticisms can be understood, by whom, and for what purposes. Featuring the work of scholars, activists, and creatives, Global Asexualities and Aromanticisms is a text that has something to offer to everyone, bridging disciplines, regions, and methodologies. It also demonstrates the pervasiveness and diversity of different compulsory forms of romance and sexuality, as well as the variegated ways people navigate them.This ambitious volume is relevant to gender/sexuality scholars, activists, students, and individuals on the asexual and aromantic spectrums who are engaging with the complexities of sexual and romantic structures, as well as striving to build bridges, solidarities, and coalitions between geographically dispersed communities.
