Summary

Displacement and Safety sheds light on the often-overlooked plight of LGBTQ refugees and asylum seekers, exploring the reasons behind their forced migration due to violence, discrimination, and persecution. The book emphasizes the necessity for specialized protections within international refugee systems. Current legal frameworks frequently fail to address the nuanced persecution faced by LGBTQ individuals. One intriguing fact highlighted is how cultural norms and legal frameworks significantly influence experiences of persecution, shaping the landscape of homophobia and transphobia worldwide. The book argues for recognizing LGBTQ status as a valid basis for asylum, advocating for inclusive policies.

 
It unfolds in three parts: introducing core concepts, analyzing factors driving LGBTQ displacement through case studies and narratives, and examining challenges within the asylum process. Drawing from legal analyses, human rights reports, and interviews, it provides a comprehensive understanding of issues. A unique aspect is its focus on intersectionality, acknowledging how race, religion, and socioeconomic status compound the challenges faced by LGBTQ refugees seeking social justice and human rights.

    The Conquest of Bread  is an 1892 book by the Russian anarcho-communist Peter Kropotkin.
Peter Kropotkin was born a Russian prince whose father owned 1,200 serfs. But he became  a Russian activist, writer, revolutionary, scientist, economist, sociologist, historian, essayist, researcher, political scientist, biologist, geographer  and philosopher.
The Conquest of Bread has become a classic of political anarchist literature. It was heavily influential on both the Spanish Civil War and the Occupy movement.
In the work, Kropotkin goes on to propose a more decentralized economic system based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation, asserting that the tendencies for this kind of organization already exist, both in evolution and in human society.
