Reviews
Feminist and Queer Theory is a vital contribution to the field of women's, gender, and sexuality studies. The authors have created a rigorous reader that is also accessible * it is unique, timely, and extremely valuable. The book's transnational focus only adds to its originality and value. *
Feminist and Queer Theory moves past the assumptions of a U.S. lens, integrates queer bodies and queer frameworks for theorizing gender, and confronts the legacy of the two-gender binary and reorganizes that historical framework. This is an important intervention in feminist theory texts for the field that finally contemporizes feminist theory to integrate intersections between feminist and queer theory. I love the approach! * Dawn Rae Davis, Monterey Peninsula College *
Feminist and Queer Theory is broad in scope, representative, inclusive, and conceptually well crafted. The authors' writing style is exceptionally strong, accessible, and articulate. The book has a very strong, multifaceted approach to teaching feminist theory in the twenty-first century classroom. * Vara Neverow, Southern Connecticut State University *
