Samoan Queer Lives

by Dan Taulapapa McMullin
RM52.00 MYR
Samoan Queer Lives
Samoan Queer Lives

Intimate Pacific queer voices, identity, and resilience

This looks like a meaningful pick if you’re drawn to stories and reflections that widen how you see queerness, culture, and belonging. With Dan Taulapapa McMullin behind it, you can expect something personal, politically alive, and rooted in Samoan experience. Readers would likely come away feeling they’ve encountered voices too rarely centered, told with honesty and quiet power.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it!
