An anthology of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies's most
provactive LGBT scholarship This compendious, cutting-edge volume
offers a broad array of the most provocative gay, lesbian,
bisexual, and transgender scholarship produced by the Center for
Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) over the first decade (1986-1996)
of its existence at the CUNY Graduate School. CLAGS has had a
profound and legitimizing influence on the establishment of gay and
lesbian studies as a discipline. Thousands have attended its
events, featuring hundreds of scholars, activists, and cultural
workers; many thousands more have lamented how they would have
liked to have been there. With this book, they finally,
vicariously, can be. Divided into five parts-on identities as they
revolve around gender and sexuality; on the terrains of homosexual
history; on mind-body relations; on laws and economics; and on
policy issues related to gay youth, AIDS, and aging-A Queer World
offers a compelling panorama of gay and lesbian life. Featuring the
work, among others, of such figures as Yukiko Hanawa, Will Roscoe,
Jewelle L. Gomez, Jonathan Ned Katz, Elizabeth Lapovsky Kennedy,
Jeffrey Escoffier, Janice M. Irvine, Kendall Thomas, Gilbert Herdt,
Vivien Ng, Douglas Crimp, Walt Odets, Serena Nanda, Cindy Patton,
Michael Moon, William Byne, and Randolph Trumback, A Queer World is
distinctive in its focus on the social sciences and issues relating
to public policy. Consisting largely of previously unpublished
essays, this volume-and its companion volume Queer Representations:
Reading Lives, Reading Cultures-is an invaluable addition to the
bookshelf of anyone interested in the study of sexuality.
