Overview

The global refugee regime has shifted under our feet. Over the last forty years, the international system of asylum has expanded to include the queer and trans* displaced. At least thirty-seven states accept LGBTIQ refugees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, with some states providing specialized pathways and support. And yet despite this expansion, much of the LGBTIQ refugee's journey in search of protection continues to be hostile. While the refugee regime has expanded, the reality of global protection remains exclusionary.

The Way Out displays the multifaceted character of displacement for queer and trans* people around the world, centering LGBTIQ refugees' personal narratives as a means of revealing the shortcomings of existing refugee protection regimes' capacity to provide sanctuary for queer and trans* people. Rebecca Buxton and Samuel Ritholtz's focus on these lived experiences offers a vibrantly effective example of theory brought to life.
