Queerness is more visible today than it has been for decades  but at what cost? In Queer Lovers and Hateful Others  Jin Haritaworn argues that queer subjects have become a lovely sight only through being cast in the shadow of the new folk devil  the homophobic migrant who is rendered by society as hateful  homophobic  and disposable.  At the centre of this book is the concept of queer regeneration. Haritaworn sees the queer lover as a transitional object which allows the present-day neoliberal regime to make punishment and neglect appear as signs of care and love for diversity. Alongside this shift  in the wake of older moral panics over crime  violence  patriarchy  integration  and segregation  the new Other  that is  the homophobic migrant appears. To understand this transition  Queer Lovers and Hateful Others looks at the environments in which queer bodies have become worthy of protection  and the everyday erasures that shape life in the inner city  and how queer activists actively seek out and dispel the myths of sites of nostalgia for the invented traditions of women-and-gay-friendliness.  Haritaworn guides the reader through a rich archive of media  arts  policy  and activism  including posters  newspaper reports  hate crime action plans  urban projects  psychological studies  demonstrations  kiss-ins  political speeches  and films. In the process  queer lovers  drag kings  criminalised youth  homosexuals persecuted under National Socialism  and other figures of degeneracy and regeneration appear on a shared plane  where new ways of sharing space become imaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118192746549,"sku":"ByrdShop_0745330614","price":28.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780745330617.jpg?v=1781693678","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/queer-lovers-and-hateful-others-regenerating-violent-times-and-places-decolonial-studies-postcolonial-horizons-9780745330617","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
