A unique introduction to sexual and gender identity and queer
studies Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people are
becoming more and more visible in all aspects of American culture,
from party politics to MTV videos. Despite the recent queer
publishing explosion, few texts cover a broad range of topics
around sexual and gender identities. Most existing works are
high-level theory books, texts focused upon specific disciplines or
topics, or practical guides aimed primarily at a heterosexual
audience or people just beginning to come out. There has been to
date no general, accessible, and inclusive work suitable for use as
an introduction to Queer Studies. In this collection, contributors
assess the conflict between postmodernism and identity, the concept
which typically serves as a linchpin for social and political
organizing. Others address queer theory, looking specifically at
how we define it, how it informs political activism, and how we can
theorize such aspects of sexual performance/behaviors as s/m or
butch-femme relationships. The volume contains contributions from
both established and newly emerging Queer Studies scholars,
including Amber Ault, M. V. Lee Badgett, Warren J. Blumenfeld,
Gregory Conerly, Patricia L. Duncan, Ruth Goldman, Lynda Goldstein,
Sherrie A. Inness, Christopher James, Amanda Udis-Kessler, JeeYeun
Lee, Michele E. Lloyd, Tracy D. Morgan, Ki Namaste, Vernon Rosario
II, Paula Rust, and Siobhan Somerville.
