Abstract:
Decolonizing Queer Experience draws from research around the post-socialist world to argue that understanding LGBT+ experience in the region cannot be limited to oppression and violence. Using a decolonizing lens, the contributors explore performance, identity, and political affiliations as essential parts of LGBT+ communities.
