This book offers a new critical perspective on emerging and alternative 'spaces' for emancipation within lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. It considers these across various geographic regions, and in times of social, political, and ecological uncertainty and change. The work delves into complex, often invisible spaces where queer communities navigate social, political, and ecological upheavals. Through a blend of critical theory, digital mapping, and rich case studies from regions like the Middle East, North Africa, Singapore, Poland, and Russia, the authors illuminate the intersecting challenges of neocolonial legacies, religious conservatism, and political repression. A must-read for scholars and advocates involved with human rights and LGBTQ organisations; this book provides a nuanced, interdisciplinary perspective on the evolving landscapes of queer emancipation and resistance. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students of queer studies, political sociology, social inequality, international relations, global studies, international justice, development studies, and the digital humanities.
