"[Mark] Gevisser is clear-eyed and wise enough to have a sharp sense of how tough the struggle has been, and how hard it will be now for those who have not succeeded in finding shelter from prejudice." --Colm Tóibín, The GuardianA groundbreaking look at how the issues of sexuality and gender identity divide and unite the world todayMore than seven years in the making, Mark Gevisser’s The Pink Line: Journeys Across the World’s Queer Frontiers is an exploration of how the conversation around sexual orientation and gender identity has come to divide—and describe—the world in an entirely new way over the first two decades of the twenty-first century. No social movement has brought change so quickly and with such dramatically mixed results. While same-sex marriage and gender transition are celebrated in some parts of the world, laws are being strengthened to criminalize homosexuality and gender nonconformity in others. As new globalized queer identities are adopted by people across the world—thanks to the digital revolution—fresh culture wars have emerged. A new Pink Line, Gevisser argues, has been drawn across the globe, and he takes readers to its frontiers.Between sensitive and sometimes startling profiles of the queer folk he’s encountered along the Pink Line, Gevisser offers sharp analytical chapters exploring identity politics, religion, gender ideology, capitalism, human rights, moral panics, geopolitics, and what he calls “the new transgender culture wars.” His subjects include a Ugandan refugee in flight to Canada, a trans woman fighting for custody of her child in Moscow, a lesbian couple campaigning for marriage equality in Mexico, genderqueer high schoolers coming of age in Michigan, a gay Israeli-Palestinian couple searching for common ground, and a community of kothis—“women’s hearts in men’s bodies”—who run a temple in an Indian fishing village. What results is a moving and multifaceted picture of the world today, and the queer people defining it.Eye-opening, heartfelt, expertly researched, and compellingly narrated, The Pink Line is a monumental—and urgent—journey of unprecedented scope into twenty-first-century identity, seen through the border posts along the world’s new LGBTQ+ frontiers.Book The Pink Line: Journeys Across the World's Queer Frontiers Review :
As a book, The Pink Line is breathtaking in its scope, depth and humanity. As a concept, it’s an exceptionally useful organizing principle for framing and understanding the unique challenges and triumphs experienced by LGBTIQ people across the globe, who live under vastly different circumstances, some of which are extreme.The thesis of this book is that the Pink Line is a multidimensional fissure that is creating new kinds of divisions between people (often based on old prejudices), one that sometimes creates new types of inner conflict within individuals, as well. It’s a new divide triggered by the stunning and rapid success of the 21st century’s LGBTIQ human rights movement, which is fueled by corporate globalization and the digital revolution, that is also being used to stoke fear and justify oppression. It’s creating new, and unexpected, alliances, but also cultural, political, economic, and generational divisions. Author Mark Gevisser traces how the Pink Line is personally experienced not just in the European West, but in places like Moscow, Guadalajara, Cairo, Malawi, Tel Aviv, Ann Arbor and Tamil Nadu, India, by everyday people. Along the way, we learn about the Pink Line in the Philippines, Brazil, South Africa, and more.There are heartwarming stories in this book, but also heartbreaking ones. All of them, though, are portraits of individuals trying to find ways of being true to themselves while finding or maintaining connections to those around them.Gevisser, a South African journalist, follows the stories of 19 LGBTQ people in eight different countries, faithfully checking in with them over 15 years. Gevisser interviews 55 people connected to these stories multiple times over this period, carefully framing their experiences not just within the context of shifting political and socioeconomic landscapes, but he also charts how changing technologies, theoretical perspectives, demographic and scientific research, cultural belief systems, and personal worldviews affect and shape these stories. Deeply committed to journalistic integrity, Gevisser never loses sight that those whom he follows are people, not merely subjects, and he interacts with each person with respect, care, and an empathy that borders on the profound. His concern to represent each individual on their own terms can be felt in each chapter, even as he raises legitimate questions and counterpoints. Invariably, in a project of this scope, ethical issues arise, and he diligently and cogently confronts each one, dissecting his own potential culpability but leaving it to the reader to judge. The Pink Line provides the reader with a combination of analytical chapters that situate the LGBTQ struggle for human rights in the ongoing story of globalization and deeply moving personal vignettes of the queer folks the author encountered on the Pink Line's front lines in nine countries. These stories include a trans Malawian refugee granted asylum in South Africa and a gay Ugandan refugee stuck in Nairobi; a lesbian couple who started a gay café in Cairo after the Arab Spring, a trans woman fighting for custody of her child in Moscow, and a community of kothis—“women’s hearts in men’s bodies”—who run a temple in an Indian fishing village. What makes this narrative truly powerful is the way in which the author highlights the interconnectivity of these struggles for human rights, that is, how progress and change in one region of the world, could spark both momentum for LGBTQ rights and backlash against LGBTQ rights in another. This global push/pull has led queer lives to be instrumentalized for political causes that have little to do with their call for equality and dignity. In Western Europe and the United States conservative politicians have reframed LGBTQ rights as a battle call against the influx of immigrants. For example, in 2018 right-wing Flemish Nationalist Vlaams Belang claimed that his party was the most LGTBQ friendly because all the others were "willing to import thousands of Muslims who have very violent ideas against being gay or transgender." In Eastern Europe and Russian, advances in LGBTQ rights in Western Europe were used as battle cry against allowing decadent Western liberalism to take hold there.But this is not a story without hope. Even as some politicians have manipulated LGBTQ rights to their own ends, LGBTQ activists around the world have pushed for the recognition. of LGBTQ rights as human rights. Thanks to these efforts, in May 2019, the World Health Organizations finally adopted the ICD-11, thereby no longer labeling transgender identity as pathological. That same month, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to allow same sex couples to marry and although efforts to decriminalize homosexuality failed in Kenya, the author notes, the atmosphere was changing there as increasingly in urban areas the LGBTQ community found new allies. Thus, while progress has been far from a straight line, the "it gets better" campaign that first took shape in the United States after several LGBTQ teens committed suicide after years of experiencing bullying, has become a global campaign. What began as celebrities in the United States posting videos online about their experiences and how "it gets better" has become a global movement with LGBTQ individuals from Egypt, Russia and elsewhere posting "it gets better" videos. For example, the author tells of a young Egyptian man who was found by his family with his male lover. They shaved his head and dragged him through the streets tied to a horse cart and then locked him in a room for a month. But rather than succumb to despair, this young man posted his own "it gets better" video on YouTube via his cell phone. In 2018, this young man overcame the odds and qualified as a lawyer.The arc of justice is shifting, although at times the backlash obscures from view the progress being made. But as the people across the globe who shared their stories with the author understand, change requires taking an active stand. A must-read for anyone interested in human rights and in the struggle across the globe of LGBTQ individuals to have their humanity recognized.
