Bollywood Homes: Queer Diasporic Identity in Ghalib Shiraz Dhalla's Ode to Lata

Résumé

Examining queer cultural practices in the articulation of diasporic subjectivity, this article problematises a redemptive reading of queer diasporas. Through a close reading of Ghalib Shiraz Dhalla's first novel Ode to Lata, I underscore the significance of disputing logics of suppressing female sexual subjectivity in queer discourses and concurrently challenge the entrenched racial hierarchies in South Asian diasporic populations. Placing the (male) queer diasporic subject at the centre of debates on home, race and queerness extends the critical span of queer and diaspora studies. It enables multiple interpretations of conventional readings of both queerness and diasporas.
