Written for an international audience Priscilla (White) Queen of the Desert speaks to the
current crisis in queer rights and representation in the context of colonial nations. Focusing
on issues of identity but exploring concerns as wide ranging as morality same-sex marriage
state sanction families and history this book will appeal to students activists and
academics alike. Asking hard questions of queer rights movements and the identity politics
that often inform them the book calls for a sustained engagement with the theorisation of
queer racial identity and queer race privilege.
