Reviews

This collection addresses the Anglo-American bias in much LGBT media research and offers the reader a series of snapshots, both past and present, that detail how European LGBT people have used, and continue to engage with, media technologies, texts and practices. A must-read for anyone who is interested in work in this area. --Sharif Mowlabocus, University of Sussex
