Reviews / Votes

"This attention to the materiality of the city, as well as therelational complexities of historical and contemporary interactionsbetween queer men from different racialised backgrounds is one ofthe major strengths of this book. Queer Visibilities offersvaluable lessons for sexual geographers and urban geographers alikeand deserves to be widely read." (Area, 2011) "Tucker successfully resists closing down debate, carefullyqualifying his points without qualifying them out of existence. Hisassessments are many, detailed and well substantiated by interviewquotations. One is unable to comprehensively review the manyvaluable insights he brings here. Read the book." (Book SouthernAfrica, September 2010)"Queer Visibilities is amuch-needed intervention in the geographies of sexualities. Drawingupon extensive ethnographic and archival work, it provides atheoretically sophisticated examination of the interconnectedpolitics of class and race in the production of sexualised spacewithin contemporary Cape Town." -Jon Binnie, Manchester Metropolitan University "How can we understand the closet if we do not understand ourvisibilities? Tucker has provided an impressive study driven byintellectual parley between geography, queer theory, postcolonialand development studies. This book adds to the already powerfulqueer geographies on a fascinating place as well as to debatesaround queer globalisations." -Michael Brown, University of Washington
