Because We Are Human by Cynthia Burack

gives readers an inside look at US sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) human rights assistance programs. Cynthia Burack explores settings where indigenous and transnational human rights advocates meet to fund and strategize SOGI human rights movements. This book also examines key arguments against these programs, policies, and interventions that originate on both the conservative right and the progressive academic left. Burack ultimately recommends support for a US commitment to SOGI human rights and programs that serve the needs of LGBTQ people.
"Thorough and thought-provoking … In Because We Are Human, Cynthia Burack's insights help to shape a smart, comprehensive picture of US involvement in the global fight for LGBTQ rights" — Foreword Reviews
