This book addresses queer migration through the intersectional lens of queer liberalisms, authoritarianism, and marginal mobilities. Globally, LGBTIQ+ rights form an inherent part of human rights discourse and politics. At the same time, this very human rights language is increasingly used by nation- states to defend their borders, control migration flows, and intensify discrimination and prejudice against the other. Queer migration scholarship has therefore maintained a critical approach to such forms of national queer liberalism that risk marginalizing LGBTIQ+ refugees, migrants, and asylum- seekers. 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.
