From Sleepless in Seattle to I Seoul You

Om From Sleepless in Seattle to I Seoul You

How might a S¿moan diasporic lens broaden our understanding of queer worlds? Queer worlds are often theorized using Western frameworks of knowledge systems and power. In this book, queer author and researcher Seutäafili Patrick Thomsen brings diversity to the discourse, by exploring the stories of Korean gay men in and between Seoul in Korea and Seattle in the US. Drawn from lived experience and the author's use of talanoa (Pacific research methodology), the book centres transnational, migrant and racialized realities - so contributing to the complication of West-centric ideas of gayness and coming out. Looking at the intersections of race, globalization, diaspora, religion and queer identity, these stories add richness and complexity to the field of Queer and LGBT+ Studies.

How might a S¿moan diasporic lens broaden our understanding of queer worlds?
Queer worlds are often theorized using Western frameworks of knowledge systems and power.

Drawn from lived experience and the author's use of talanoa (Pacific research methodology), the book centres transnational, migrant and racialized realities - so contributing to the complication of West-centric ideas of gayness and coming out.
Looking at the intersections of race, globalization, diaspora, religion and queer identity, these stories add richness and complexity to the field of Queer and LGBT+ Studies.
