Zipporah, Queen of the Desert

This book delves into the lived experiences of queer and trans Jewish people living in so-called Australia. The volume weaves interviews, personal stories, and political analysis together to form a work which explores how queerness, transness, and Jewishness interplay in the context of living in the modern-day colony. Through discussions of Zionism, queer liberation, and community-making, the book provides insight into the historical and contemporary relationships queer and trans Jews have to ourselves, each other, the nation-state, and the world. In typical Jewish fashion, Zipporah is less about answers than it is about questions: how do we live a Jewish life queerly or a queer life Jewishly? What role do queer and trans Jews play in the tapestry of personal, national, and international politics? And perhaps most importantly, what can queer and trans Jewish experiences in Australia tell us about how we move forward in solidarity with our own communities and those who share in our struggles?
