Entering a Queer Culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
As a newcomer into the rhelm of queer theory and also as a graduate student, I found this book highly interesting, sparking many topics useful for analysis,like Judith Butler, and controversy, like Gayle Rubin. Most of the essays captured the readers attention and urged for outside investigation for newcomers on issues like Stonewall, AIDS, and ACT UP. Adequate background information was given about queer cultures in general allowing ample understanding of such texts. While reading certain essays, though, there was a struggle to try and relate them to the rest of the text.
