Abstract
Activist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Julia Scheele illuminate the histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action in this groundbreaking book.
A kaleidoscope of characters from the diverse worlds of pop culture, film, activism and academia – such as James Bond, Judith Butler and the Wizard of Oz – guide us on a journey through the ideas, people and events that have shaped queer theory.
From identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion, Queer explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do, and how culture can shift our perspective of what´s ´normal´.
So, shake off the status quo, and start seeing things queerly.
