Queer Generations offers a groundbreaking study of sexual citizenship, based on the coming of age narratives of two social generations of LGBTQ people in Australia.
The open access book's assembly and analysis of narrative accounts demonstrates the differences contained in people's experiences of LGBTQ youth sexual citizenship. It is the first book to provide a robust empirical account of the diverse ways in which sexual citizenship is experienced and understood by different social generations of LGBTQ people growing up. By so doing,
Queer Generations offers a unique analysis of ongoing contestations over the place of sexual and gender diversity in relation to citizenship.
