Summary

Global Asylum Routes examines the perilous journeys and varied receptions faced by LGBTQ asylum seekers fleeing persecution. This book addresses the crucial question of how effectively international mechanisms protect these vulnerable populations amidst increasing global migration. A key insight is that while international laws exist, their implementation differs significantly across countries, leading to disparities in asylum outcomes.

The book highlights the fact that cultural attitudes and legal interpretations in receiving countries greatly impact the success of asylum claims. The book explores two interconnected areas: the specific routes LGBTQ individuals take to escape unsafe environments and the diverse responses from countries receiving these asylum applications. It emphasizes the gaps in current protection mechanisms by focusing on government policies and societal acceptance.

Did you know that LGBTQ individuals have historically faced systemic discrimination and violence, compelling them to seek refuge elsewhere? This book offers context on international human rights laws, particularly the 1951 Refugee Convention, and how it's interpreted differently across nations.

The book's approach is to first introduce legal and sociological concepts, then to map common migration routes, and finally to examine asylum adjudication processes in various countries. Through mixed-methods research, including legal analysis and interviews, the book provides policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the protection and integration of LGBTQ asylum seekers. This exploration of political science and social science sheds light on the complex realities of global migration for LGBTQ individuals.

Letter to James C Conkling

Abraham Lincoln

During the Civil War, Union supporters in President Abraham Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Illinois, asked him to speak at a rally on September 3, 1863. Lincoln could not attend but wrote this letter to be read at the gathering by his long-time friend, James C. Conkling. The letter was accompanied by a brief note which read, "I cannot leave here now. Herewith is a letter instead. You are one of the best public readers. I have but one suggestion. Read it very slowly. And now God bless you, and all good Union-men." Shortly after the rally, John Murray Forbes wrote to Lincoln, referring to the letter and the Emancipation Proclamation issued on January 1, 1863. Forbes declared that the letter "will live in history side by side with your proclamation." He noted, "It meets the fears of the timid and the doubts of the reformer. It proves that the Proclamation and the policy resulting from it are the most conservative, both of liberty and of our form of government."

Before the Streetlights Come On...

Heather McTeer Toney

Climate change. Two words that are quickly becoming the clarion call to action in the twenty-first century. It is a voter issue, an economy driver, and a defining dynamic for the foreseeable future. Yet, in Black communities, climate change is seen as less urgent when compared to other pressing issues, including police brutality, gun violence, job security, food insecurity, and the blatant racism faced daily around the country. 
 
 
 
However, with Black Americans disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change—making up 13 percent of the US population but breathing 40 percent dirtier air and being twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from climate-related health problems than white counterparts—climate change is a central issue of racial justice and affects every aspect of life for Black communities. 
 
 
 
In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.
