Envisioning Global LGBT Human Rights: (Neo)colonialism, Neoliberalism, Resistance and Hope
A New anthology from the Human Rights Consortium, School of Advanced Study entitled āEnvisioning Global LGBT Human Rights: (Neo)colonialism, Neoliberalism, Resistance and Hopeā was released on September 13th in Toronto, Canada
The book is an outcome of a five-year international collaboration among partners that share a common legacy of British colonial laws that criminalise same-sex intimacy and gender identity/expression. The project sought to facilitate learning from each other and to create outcomes that would advance knowledge and social justice. The project was unique, combining research and writing with participatory documentary video lm-making. This visionary politics infuses the pages of the anthology.
