About this book
In<em> Love Cake</em>, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha explores how queer people of colour resist and transform violence through love and desire. Refusing to forget the traumas of post 9/11 Islamophobia, and Sri Lanka's civil war, <em>Love Cake</em> documents the persistence of survival and beauty — especially the dangerous beauty found in queer people of colour's lives.
