Shiri Eisner Quote
Minority world is a term denoting the geographical areas and countries usually imagined as the West (west of what?). It corresponds with the term majority world, which comes to replace the use of the problematic term third world. It allows us to keep in mind that, while minority-world thinkers have been busy pathologizing sex, gender, and desire, many majority-world societies have long had mainstream, socially acceptable patterns of practices and behaviors that minority-world people might understand as queer.
