População LGBTI+ e política de assistência social
Os preconceitos e violências contra a população LGBTI+ antecedem a formação do modo de produção capitalista. Em tempos mais antigos, qualquer manifestação não heterossexual e não cisgênero era tratada sob as mais cruéis formas de violência, dentre elas, a tortura e o extermínio. Mudou-se a estrutura econômica e as superestruturas que lhe dão sustentação, mas as bases conservadoras se renovaram mantendo esta população sob o julgo da marginalização e da opressão. No limiar da história da civilização humana e de suas dissidências são recentes, na concepção de tempo histórico, as lutas e avanços pela proteção e dignidade da comunidade LGBTI+.

“Comfort Stations” as Remembered by Okinawans during World War II
Okinawa, the only Japanese prefecture invaded by US forces in 1945, was forced to accommodate 146 “military comfort stations” from 1941–45. How did Okinawans view these intrusive spaces and their impact on regional society? Interviews, survivor testimonies, and archival documents show that the Japanese army manipulated comfort stations to isolate local communities, facilitate “spy hunts,” and foster a fear of rape by Americans that induced many Okinawans to choose death over survival. The politics of sex pursued by the US occupation (1945–72) perpetuated that fear of rape into the postwar era. This study of war, sexual violence, and postcolonial memory sees the comfort stations as discursive spaces of remembrance where differing war experiences can be articulated, exchanged, and mutually reassessed. Winner of the 2017 Best Publication Award of the Year by the Okinawa Times.
