Book synopsis
Written by an openly gay Indonesian writer, this book considers LGBT identities and activisms in the most-populous Muslim country, Indonesia. Tracing the history of gay, lesbian, and/or LGBT activisms, it explores the globalization of LGBT identities and the way in which their activism strategies have been shaped by the interplay between local and global forces. Drawing on both historical archives and ethnography, as well as the author's personal engagements with LGBT activism, this book examines the transformation of homosexual and transgender identities and the socio-political forces that have driven those shifts. Arguing that recent anti-LGBT thought is driven by multiple interconnected elements such as the country's democratization, the rise of political Islam, the increased visibility of LGBT issues, and the growing support from the international community, it notably addresses the global connections behind the Indonesian LGBT fight against homophobia and the activist tactics in making LGBT identity acceptable, and showing what it means to be queer in contemporary Indonesia.
