Covid-19 Assemblages: Queer and Feminist Ethnographies from South Asia Banerjea Niharika
This book documents and analyzes the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic through queer and feminist perspectives. It examines the confining effects of the pandemic on the lived realities of many queer and trans individuals, the caste-oppressed and women across socio-economic backgrounds. A testament of dispossessions as well as a celebration of various forms of resilience, community building and critical responses, it chronicles the social history of queer and trans persons and women in South Asia and the diasporas.Through a creative and collaborative form of ethnographic writing, the book enters in conversation with the worlds of domestic helps, caregivers, cultural workers, students, sex workers and other precariously employed people.
The chapters in the volume piece together narratives of prejudice, hardship, self-expression and resistance from interviews, personal accounts,
