Queer Liberalisms and Marginal Mobilities

The aim of this book is to unpack the tenuous relationship between politics of queer liberalisms and securitization within contested political contexts in the Global South and North by thinking about the ways in which the precarity of marginal mobilities for LGBTIQ+ persons on the move is produced within different (trans) national contexts.
