Unruly Figures: Queerness, Sex Work, and the Politics of Sexuality in Kerala by Navaneetha Mokkil is a powerful work that examines the tangled intersections of sexuality, gender, labour, and social power in Kerala. Through careful, critical inquiry, the book explores how queer lives and sex work are shaped by respectability, stigma, and the politics of public morality.
This is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in gender studies, sexuality, and contemporary Indian social discourse. Mokkil brings nuance to urgent questions of identity and justice, offering readers a compelling lens on how communities navigate desire, survival, and belonging.
