Paperback. 'Holds rich and deep insights' - Sarah Schulman Who cares about working-class queers in Britain today? Are queers marginal to the study of class, and are the working-classes marginal to queer studies? Yvette Taylor critically engages with the experience of working-class queers through cycles of crisis, austerity, recession and migration to show how they have been underrepresented and demands that this changes. Drawing on growing academic and radical activism in queer studies and feminism, she critiques the policy, theory and practice that have maintained queer middle-class privilege at the expense of working-class queers. Highlights the entanglement of British class and sexuality, in a society saturated by the rhetoric of diversity Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Who cares about working-class queers in Britain today? Are queers marginal to the study of class, and are the working classes marginal to queer studies? Yvette Taylor critically engages with the experience of working-class queers through cycles of crisis, austerity, recession, and migration to show how they have been underrepresented–and demands that this changes. Drawing on growing research and radical activism in queer studies and feminism, she critiques the policy, theory, and practice that have maintained queer middle-class privilege at the expense of working-class queers.
Yvette Taylor is a sociologist and has researched class and queer lives in the UK for over 20 years. This includes work on the experience of deindustrialization, class, and austerity in England, published as Fitting into Place? Class and Gender Geographies and Temporalities. She has worked with educational professionals, policymakers, and community organizations on developing intersectional approaches to challenging working-class queer exclusion.
