Klappentext zu „Queer Families in Hungary “
Set against the backdrop of a country which upholds a heteronormative and narrow view of family, this book provides insights into the lives of Hungarian same-sex couples and their heterosexual relatives. Béres-Deák utilizes the theoretical framework of intimate citizenship, as well as findings from ethnographic interviews, participant observation and online sources. Instead of emphasizing the divide between non-heterosexual people and their heterosexual kin, the author recognizes that these members of queer families share many similar experiences and challenges.Queer Families in Hungary looks at experiences of coming out, negotiation of visibility, and kinship practices, and offers valuable insights into how individuals and families can resist heterosexist constraints through their discourses and practices. Students and scholars researching kinship studies, LGBT and queer studies, post-socialist studies, and citizenship studies, will find this book of interest.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Queer Families in Hungary “

Pressezitat
"The diverse and creative ways in which these families approach parenting, gender arrangements, and ultimately their understandings of kinship not only speak to their incredible resilience but also offers a road map to how heterosexual families could alter and overcome heteronormative and strictly gendered kinship." (Anita Kurimay, Hungarian Studies Review, Vol. 50 (1-2), November, 2023)
