'Suriname - Seeking a Lonely, Lesbian Friend for Correspondence' : Immigration and Homo-emancipation in the Netherlands, 1965-79  / Andrew DJ Shield.

History Workshop Journal, 78 (2014) 1 (Autumn), p. 246-264
source: History Workshop Journal year: 78 (2014) 1 (Autumn), p. 246-264
resume: The Netherlands has exemplified the politics of 'homonationalism' since the late 1990s, particularly with regard to political rhetoric that ties gay and lesbian rights to policies against immigration. Drawing from queer-of-colour and queer-migrant critiques, this essay challenges the construction of the categories 'homosexual' and 'immigrant' as mutually exclusive by reconsidering the histories of homo-emancipation and immigration in the Netherlands in the late 1960s and 1970s. Linking these two ostensibly distinct histories complicates current political discussions about a supposed clash between immigrant and 'native' European cultures with regard to sexual tolerance. As the Dutch homo-emancipation movement radicalized in the 1960s, many men and some women placed contact advertisements (seeking romance, correspondence, housing, employment) in popular Dutch activist periodicals. An analysis of 500 advertisements from one gay and lesbian periodical shows that about ten percent of these ads were posted internationally, and about three percent of local romance ads were placed by those who self-identified as immigrants or people of colour (e.g. post-colonial migrants, those recruited through so-called 'guest-worker' programmes). Dutch homo-emancipation movements both included and demonstrated solidarity with immigrants and people of colour. Scholarship on homonationalism and current political discussions of immigration could benefit from understanding the practical ways that immigration has overlapped with romance, desire, and sexuality since the 1960s.

Immigrants in the Sexual Revolution : Perceptions and Participation in Northwest Europe  / 

Andrew D.J. Shield.Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2017 - xiii, 287 p.: ill.
edition: Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2017 - xiii, 287 p.: ill.

resume: This book focuses on the latter half of the twentieth century, when much of northwest Europe grew increasingly multicultural with the arrival of foreign workers and (post-)colonial migrants, whilst simultaneously experiencing a boom in feminist and sexual liberation activism. Using multilingual newspapers, foreign worker organizations' archives, and interviews, this book shows that immigrants in the Netherlands and Denmark held a variety of viewpoints about European gender and sexual cultures. Some immigrants felt solidarity with, and even participated in, European social movements that changed norms and laws in favor of women's equality, gay and lesbian rights, and sexual liberation. These histories challenge today's politicians and journalists who strategically link immigration to sexual conservatism, misogyny, and homophobia.

Gay Immigrants and Grindr : Revitalizing Queer Urban Spaces?  / Andrew Shield.

IJURR : International Journal of Urban and Regional Research (2018), p. 1-6
source: IJURR : International Journal of Urban and Regional Research (2018), p. 1-6
resume: "Gay Dance Clubs on the Wane in the Age of Grindr," proclaimed the journalist Michael Musto in the New York Times in 2016. Musto, who has reported on gay life in New York for decades, had noticed a decline in weekly dance parties. In speaking to club promoters and performers, Musto kept hearing the same thing: people would rather meet others via the comfort of their mobile phones than in a gay space. Scholarly research has also pointed to Grindr (and related platforms) as troublesome technologies that might obviate the need for urban gay spaces. Grindr (founded 2009) is a smartphone-only platform that allows mostly gay men (and also queer and trans people) to connect to others in their immediate vicinity via private messages. Related geo-social apps include gay platforms like Scruff, Hornet, Growler or Chappy, or the app versions of websites like Gaydar or Planet Romeo, and mainstream equivalents like Tinder and Happn. I've been doing research on Grindr in the greater Copenhagen area since 2015, with a special focus on how immigrants and those who are "new in town" use the platform.

Immigrants on Grindr : race, sexuality and belonging online  / 

Andrew D. ShieldCham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2019 - xv, 245 p.: ill.
edition: Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2019 - xv, 245 p.: ill.
subjects:
resume: This book examines the role of hook-up apps in the lives of gay, bi, trans, and queer immigrants and refugees, and how the online culture of these platforms promotes belonging or exclusion. Within the context of the so-called European refugee crisis, this research focuses on the experiences of immigrants from especially Muslim-majority countries to the greater Copenhagen area, a region known for both its progressive ideologies and its anti-immigrant practices. Grindr and similar platforms connect newcomers with not only dates and sex, but also friends, roommates and other logistical contacts. But these socio-sexual platforms also become spaces of racialization and othering. Weaving together analyses of real Grindr profile texts, immigrant narratives, political rhetoric, and popular media, Immigrants on Grindr provides an in-depth look at the complex interplay between online and offline cultures, and between technology and society.

"A Southern man can have a harem of up to twenty Danish women": Sexotic politics and immigration in Denmark, 1965-1979  / Andrew DJ Shield.

Sexualities, 23 (2020) 1-2 (jan-feb), p. 224-240

resume: During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Denmark received about 15,000 foreign workers from Turkey, Yugoslavia, Pakistan, the Middle East and North Africa during a unique period of women's and sexual liberation. As foreign men visited discos - sometimes in search of sexual relationships with Danish women - a segment of Danish men accused foreigners of taking not only 'their' jobs but also 'their' women, and depicted foreign men as hypersexual or sexually violent (e.g. in union newspapers, men's magazines). These ?sexotic? depictions of foreign men had immediate and negative effects on immigrants' lived experiences in Denmark. In gay male subcultures, ?sexotic? depictions of men of color served mainly to entertain white fantasies, which also affected the experiences especially of gay men of color in Denmark. Overall, sexualized stereotypes about the male Other were central to broader political discussions in Denmark in the long 1970s, including debates about Danish wage suppression, immigrant ghetto formation, and the definition of sexual liberation.
