A Nation by Rights - National Cultures, Sexual Identity Politics, and the Discourse of Rights

How sexuality and sexual orientation intersect with gender, race, ethnicity, and religion in the ongoing formation of national identity

Summary

The dynamics of identity politics frequently have been studied from the perspective of 'outsider' groups, those outside the bounds of the imagined community. But how does this dynamic play out in the construction of the 'national imaginary'? This book helps reformulate how we use rights - to what end and through what means.
