In the past two decades, asexuality and aromanticism studies scholarship has grown exponentially, reflecting the rise of asexual and aromantic communities around the world. The majority of scholarship in asexuality and aromanticism studies, however, remains either on Anglophone ace/aro communities, primarily in North America, or situated in Western sexual epistemologies. This edited volume gathers together scholarship on ace and aro identities, and their translations and circulations both outside of Western contexts and beyond Western colonial knowledge frames, as well as scholarship on how desexualization and romance have been implicated in projects of racialization, coloniality, and nation-building across contexts.
We are specifically looking for submissions from Africa, South and Central America, Central and West Asia, and Central and Eastern Europe; diasporic communities of the aforementioned contexts; and Indigenous Nations, communities, and knowledges anywhere in the world to complement our already existing contributions.
