Giovanna Rincon and Acceptess-T: Living archives of transgender solidarity in an age of homonationalism
The 13th Lawrence R. Schehr Memorial Award-Winning Essay: The right to feel bad: ambivalence as resistance in Fatima Daas’s La Petite Dernière ( The Last One )
Fatima Daas’s debut novel, La Petite Dernière ( The Last One ), has been both lauded and attacked for its autofictional representation of a Muslim lesbian growing up in Paris’s marginalized suburbs. Analyses of this work have focused on the protagonist Fatima’s multi-faceted identity as a young woman struggling to reconcile her faith and sexuality. This article shifts the focus from identity to affect by putting La Petite Dernière in dialogue wit…

This article analyses the little-known contributions of a Paris-based activist group of self-identified lesbians of colour, the Groupe du 6 novembre, which formed in 1999. Their self-published anthology, entitled Warriors/Guerrières, contests the racism of French feminist and LGBT community and culture and examines sexual minority visibility through an intersectional lens. This anthology was unfortunately contested and all but censored by organis…
Resisting the Ruses of Liberalism
Given that Joseph A. Massad’s previous book, Desiring Arabs,1 was both lauded as ‘epoch-making’2 and criticized for containing ‘conspiratorial fulminations’,3 it is no surprise that Islam in Libera
