Description
Queer Generations offers a groundbreaking study of sexual citizenship, based on the coming of age narratives of two social generations of LGBTQ people in Australia.
The open access book's assembly and analysis of narrative accounts demonstrates the differences contained in people's experiences of LGBTQ youth sexual citizenship. It is the first book to provide a robust empirical account of the diverse ways in which sexual citizenship is experienced and understood by different social generations of LGBTQ people growing up. By so doing, Queer Generations offers a unique analysis of ongoing contestations over the place of sexual and gender diversity in relation to citizenship.

Reviews / Votes
In this absorbing and uniquely intergenerational research project, Queer Generations, Marshall, Hegarty, Cover, Newman, Rasmussen, and Aggleton do superb work contextualizing the development of youth sexual citizenship in across temporally shifting understandings of what it means to live against the normative grain of sexuality and gender. As strong in its methodology and theory as it is in its nuanced reporting on key lens that continue to provide resources for and shape the experiences of LGBTQ+ people, this is book is an exceptional resource for youth studies, education, gender studies, history, and more. * Cris Mayo, University of Vermont, USA *More details
