Reviews
“Queer Then and Now is the balm we need to remind us in this moment that we must always stay vigilant against white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, and fake moral panic. For as the lectures collected here index, every iterative “turn” in queer studies has emerged to address the multiple assaults on queer liberation. Chronicling the past twenty years of scholarship and activism, this volume is an essential addition to the queer studies archive.” —E. Patrick Johnson, author of Honeypot: Black Southern Women Who Love Women “A startlingly relevant collection of essays from cutting-edge queer thinkers and activists, Queer Then and Now combines a deep archive with trenchant reflections on what it means to seek justice, foster community, and shed the shackles of respectability in our unfolding present. By enlarging who and what constitutes queer, this series of diverse provocations invites us to fight for better ways of living.” —Amber Jamilla Musser, author of Sensual Excess: Queer Femininity and Brown Jouissance
