Queer Intentions

di Amelia Abraham (Autore)

Picador, 2019

**'A landmark exploration into what it means to be queer today' – DAZED Shortlisted for the Polari First Book Prize In this immersive, accessible and thought-provoking book, journalist Amelia Abraham goes on a fascinating global journey to better understand the challenges and realities facing LGBTQ+ people today.** The freedoms on offer to LGBTQ+ people living in the West appear greater than ever before. But, even as we move forwards, queer people are facing new challenges. And some are being left behind, particularly in parts of the world with different attitudes to LGBTQ+ rights. In Queer Intentions, Amelia Abraham explores what’s happening in cities around the globe. From losing herself in the world’s biggest drag convention in L.A., marching at Pride parades across Europe, meeting genderless families in Stockholm, visiting trans model agencies and Anti-Violence protests in New York, underground parties in Turkey and gay weddings in Britain, Abraham searches for an answer to the question: what is it really like to be queer today? Combining intrepid journalism with her own personal experience, Queer Intentions is a provocative exploration of the kaleidoscope of twenty-first-century queer life. ‘Eloquent, empathetic and passionate . . . will not just resonate with a new generation of queer people, but with all those who seek to be their allies. A brilliant book’ – Owen Jones, author of This Land: The Story of a Movement
