Reviews

By turns hilarious and damning, this provocative collection evokes memories of summer camp, reframes nostalgia, and activates Camp sensibilities. Kidd, Mason, and their contributors blend queer pedagogy, critical theory, and creative nonfiction to create a memorable work of scholarship. -- Nathalie op de Beeck, Pacific Lutheran University
