520 a| "An Ordinary Landscape of Violence: Women Loving Women in Guyana tells a new history of queer women in post-colonial Guyana. While the region has experienced a rise in queer activism, especially towards efforts of human rights, the queer community is also made the victim of extreme violence. This book seeks to ask how a hetero-patriarchal state shapes queer and "women-lovin' women's" experiences, and how such women navigate racialized, sexualized, and homophobic violence. With a unique focus on the lives of queer women in Guyana, it reveals their manifold experiences of violence, regional differences, and complicated understanding of what exactly constitutes "rights" and its limitations in their lives. While the activism against violence is crucial, this book addresses not only the violence against women, but theorizes the intimate partner violence between women, and demonstrates the ways in which violence is both racialized and sexualized.
