Queer Roots for the Diaspora

Jarrod Hayes · 2016

Catalogue summary

This humanities monograph compares African, Jewish, and Armenian narratives of origin to ask how diasporic communities can retain rooted identities while recognizing plurality, fiction, and sexual difference.

Why this matters

The book supplies a useful theoretical approach for Armenian diaspora studies by questioning genealogies that exclude queer lives or treat collective origins as singular and fixed.
