Description
Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique is a groundbreaking work by Sa'ed Atshan that explores the intricate intersections of queerness, nationalism, and colonialism within the context of Palestine. Atshan invites readers into a nuanced discourse, challenging conventional narratives that often marginalise LGBTQ+ experiences in the Middle East.

This book meticulously unpacks the ways in which queer identities are shaped by both local cultural frameworks and global political dynamics. Through a rich tapestry of personal testimonies, historical analysis, and critical theory, Atshan examines how the Palestinian struggle for liberation intersects with the quest for sexual rights, highlighting the complexities faced by queer individuals within this socio-political landscape.
