A Companion to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies

A Companion to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies is the first single volume survey of current discussions taking place in this rapidly developing area of study.

The Companion breaks new ground for scholarship on gender and sexuality. Recognizing the multidisciplinary nature of the field, the editors gather new essays by established and emerging scholars, addressing the politics, economics, history, and cultural impact of sexuality. The book engages the future of Queer Studies by asking what sexuality stands in for, what work it does, and how it continues to structure discussions in various academic disciplines as well as contemporary politics.
