What happens when queer liberation becomes entangled with the
myths of the nation-state? In this episode, we speak with
Alexander Stoffel about his new book Eros and Empire, which
traces the transnational roots of sexual freedom movements in the
U.S. From gay liberation to Black lesbian feminism and AIDS
activism, Stoffer shows how desire has been both constrained by
and mobilized against imperial and capitalist systems. Together,
we explore how a Marxist approach to desire can open new paths
for solidarity beyond the boundaries of the bourgeois
state.
