Disrupting Queer Inclusion - Canadian Homonationalisms and the Politics of Belonging

This book contends that Canada's acceptance of "gay rights" obscures and abets multiple forms of oppression and details how, in the fight for equality and inclusion, some LGBTQ communities gain acceptance within the mainstream, and as a result become complicit in a system that fortifies white supremacy, furthers settler colonialism, advances neoliberalism, and props up imperialist mythologies.
