dc.description.abstractThroughout the world, a wide variety of non-heterosexual identities have been targeted and persecuted, while many of these discriminatory policies are still in place today. This thesis challenges the notion that advocacy for the human rights of peoples with underrepresented sexualities, ethnicities and cultural identities has reached an acceptable endpoint, asserting instead that discrimination persists in often insidious forms that are worth examining and exposing. Resting in a niche between queer theory, immigration theory, and historical studies, this inquiry into LGBTQ+ immigrant and/or refugee experience represents an attempt to build upon a body of work that examines challenges arising when individuals occupy both positions. The research presented is intended to enable a historically informed, reflexive analysis at the intersections of multiple underrepresented perspectives simultaneously, in a way that closely aligns with anthropological principles of respect and human rightsen_US
