About this title

Review:

"This wide-ranging anthology takes us unexpected places and makes provocative connections. "Queer Frontiers" is a stimulating and lively contribution to the ongoing cultural debates."--Neil Miller, author of "Out in the World" and "In Search of Gay America"
"An eloquent and convincingly articulated anthology. The relavance of its contribution cannot be overstated."--Suzanne Chavez-Silverman, Pomona College
"Suggests the expansive--and explosive--significance of queer theory both inside and outside of the academy."--Bruce Burgett, University of Wisconsin-Madison
"In their sophisticated attention not only to sexuality but also to bodies, genders, identities, and the social spaces that structure how desire plays itself out, this host of fresh voices from the queer frontier provides an encouraging preview of the shape of queer studies in the decade ahead."--Susan Stryker, Stanford University
