Queer ideas have unsettled other forms of exploring gender and sexuality in particular feminism and feminists have been significant critics. This book explores the debates between feminist and queer theorizing to seek out interconnections and identify new directions in thinking about sexuality and gender that may emerge out of and at the interface.
Reviews / Votes
'Challenging narrowly discursive and deconstructive approaches, Intersections between Feminist and Queer Theory brings together a stellar list of international scholars to make a powerful case for a theoretically robust, 'materialist' and intersectional approach to the critical analysis of gender and sexuality. This text is brimming with novel and exciting ideas about what a critical gender and sexualities studies should look like as we confront the tough realities of the present.' - Steven Seidman, Professor of Sociology, University at Albany, USA, and author of Contested Knowledge: Social Theory Today
'Enjoyable, interesting and timely.' - Sexualities
