Saʾed Atshan's groundbreaking "Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique" is a fearless study of the ups and downs of Queer Palestinian solidarity movement and its double facing of occupation and homophobic repression.
Among other things, Atshan is unscathing in his critique of who he terms 'radical purists' and academics such as Jasbir Puar and Joseph Massad and their "debilitating effects [on] the Queer Palestine movement..."
He takes them to task for having barred the movement from "the possibility for academics and activists to formulate a new mode of scholarly engagement aimed at supporting queer social movements in Palestine and across the Middle East."
