A Political Biography of the Indonesian Lesbian, Bisexual, and Trans (LBT) Movement” is a rich exploration of resilience and activism in Indonesia. With meticulous research and firsthand reflections, Professor Wieringa illuminates the inception of the LBT movement. This political biography is not just a chronicle; it is a testament to the courage of individuals who have defied cultural constraints to forge a path toward equality and recognition. Wieringa's narrative captures the evolution of the LBT movement, from its clandestine beginnings to its emergence as a contested but ever-present force advocating for justice, acceptance, and human rights. Readers will encounter inspiring leaders, poignant stories of self-discovery, and the collective strength that arises when marginalised voices unite. Professor Wieringa's insightful analysis and engaging storytelling make this book an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and triumphs of the Indonesian LBT movement—a movement that continually pushes boundaries and inspires change. * Sharyn Graham Davies, author of Gender Diversity in Indonesia *
