Reviews

'This is an extremely timely collection of work from emerging and established queer scholars. It offers an interdisciplinary and international consideration of the state of play within queer theory and politics; thoroughly addressing key theoretical debates, and pertinently reflecting on issues central to conceptualizations and practices of queer ethics and politics. Queer Futures works against a wave of queer despondency, pointing instead to a vivid queer future.' - Sally Hines, University of Leeds, UK 'As queer studies embraces, rejects, looks backward from, or anticipates the future, expansive transnational and transtemporal conversations such as the one staged by this groundbreaking anthology highlight the field's vitality. Imagining queer agency and varied forms of global belonging from Manila to Rio de Janeiro to Stonehenge, this collection redefines what matters in, and the matter of, queer theory now.' - Robert McRuer, George Washington University, USA
