Reviews

'Chapters' styles are accessible for different audiences. ... The exhaustive overviews of the European Court of Human Rights case law on sexuality and asylum may help judges to be better prepared to adjudicate relevant conflicts. ...Above all, the book will certainly drive scholarly discussions further.' Migration and Society 'This book covers a variety of highly topical issues on queer migration and asylum in the European context. Comparable publications are few and far apart, so this book meets a definite need for such information.' European Journal of Migration and Law
