Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Treating such issues as animal sex, species politics,
environmental justice, lesbian space and "gay" ghettos, AIDS
literatures, and queer nationalities, this lively collection asks
important questions at the intersections of sexuality and
environmental studies. Contributors from a wide range of
disciplines present a focused engagement with the critical,
philosophical, and political dimensions of sex and nature. These
discussions are particularly relevant to current debates in many
disciplines, including environmental studies, queer theory,
critical race theory, philosophy, literary criticism, and politics.
As a whole, Queer Ecologies stands as a powerful corrective to
views that equate "natural" with "straight" while "queer" is held
to be against nature.
From the vernacular engineering of Latino car design to
environmental analysis among rural women to the production of
indigenous herbal cures-groups outside the centers of scientific
power persistently defy the notion that they are merely passive
recipients of technological products and scientific knowledge. This
is the first study of how such "outsiders" reinvent consumer
products-often in ways that embody critique, resistance, or
outright revolt.
