This volume  interrogates the forms and implications of the increasingly potent symbolic  nexus that has developed between non-heterosexual sexualities, LGBT  activism(s) and Europeanisation(s) in all of the Yugoslav successor states. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eContributors to this book show how the long EU  accession process disseminates discursive tools employed in LGBT activist  struggles for human rights and equality. This creates a linkage between  “Europeanness” and “gay emancipation” which elevates certain forms of gay  activist engagement and perhaps also non-heterosexuality, more generally, to a  measure of democracy, progress and modernity. At the same time, it relegates  practices of intolerance to the LGBT community to the status of non-European  primitivist Other who is inevitably positioned in the patriarchal past that  should be left behind.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137572608\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-57261-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 256\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752425091212,"sku":"9781137572608","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137572608.jpg?v=1775917042","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137572608","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
