"Boldly spanning Hindi film, British Asian music, Urdu literature, diasporic postcolonial literature and film, U.S. queer activism, and feminist politics, Gayatri Gopinath argues that queer desire becomes central to the ways in which national and diasporic histories are told when the erotics of power is acknowledged. "Impossible Desires" is a deft demonstration of both queer theory's dominant ethnocentrism and diaspora and postcolonial studies' heteronormativity and androcentrism."--Ranjana Khanna, author of "Dark Continents: Psychoanalysis and Colonialism"
