To bring queer narratives to the forefront, the Godrej DEI Lab is collaborating with Westland Books to produce Queer Intersections (or QI), a platform for writers from the LGBTQIA+ community. We imagine QI to be the home of exceptional, high-quality writing-be it fiction or non-fiction-by LGBTQIA+ writers, nurtured by our teams. Our publications are intended for everyone who loves individuality, inclusion and intersectionality - and reading.
If you'd like to send us questions, ideas or book proposals, write to us at godrejdeilab@godrejinds.com.
Queeristan
By Parmesh Shahani
Queeristan is both a memoir and a manifesto and Shahani animates the data and strategy in the book with intimate stories of love and family. Even as it becomes a sprawling reference book of history, literature, cinema, movements, institutions and icons of the LGBTQ community, Queeristan drives home a singular point-in diversity and inclusion lies the promise of an equitable and profitable future, for companies, their employees and the society at large.
