- Description
- The author describes the connections among sexuality, race, gender, nation, class and ethnicity in relation to securitization, counterterrorism and nationalism. She argues how liberal politics incorporate certain queer subjects into the fold of the nation-state and that these incorporations have shifted many queers from their construction as figures of death (via AIDS) to subjects tied to ideas of life and productivity (gay marriage and reproductive kinship). Accoording to Puar this inclusion of queer subjects depends on the production of populations of Orientalized terrorist bodies.
