This issue of GLQ is an important contribution to the efforts aiming at bringing together queer and postcolonial studies. It is also a particularly timely intervention in the debates about queer issues in the Middle East. The issue seeks to situate questions regarding LGBTQ rights, homophobia, and sexual policing in direct relation to questions concerning the ethnonational and colonial politics that currently define the relationship between Israel and its occupied Palestinian population. The articles show that discussions of queerness (and sexual politics,. more extensively) are essential for our understanding of national movements, colonial oppression, new technologies of state surveillance, and new modes of racial/ethnic/religious segregation.
