Liveable Lives: Living and Surviving LGBTQ Equalities in India and the UK

What is a liveable life? জীবেনর মেতা জীবন কােক বেল? (Jeeboner mato jeebon kake bole?) What makes a life, life? Liveable Lives explores these questions with Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, and Queer (LGBTQ) identifying persons. How are LGBTQ lives desired and achievable (momentarily/temporally/spatially)? This book contests the deployment of hegemonic queer subjects to create forward/backward narratives of national progress with liveability at a particular historical moment of global sexual/gender inclusion. Contesting yet recognizing the place of legislations that liberalize sexual and gender rights, we contend that liveability needs to be a pivotal axis in analysing gender-sexual politics and their material manifestations.
