Reviews

Queer Theory Now offers a comprehensive journey through the historical foundations and contemporary nuances of queer theory. By engaging with diverse voices and critical perspectives, this book not only illuminates the past but also inspires new directions for future queer scholarship. * Paulo Pepe, University of East Anglia, UK * This book achieves a rare and compelling balance between accessibility and accountability in tracing the traditions and tensions that have shaped queer theory. McCann and Monaghan locate queer lives, stories, controversies, and activisms at the heart of this history, which helps us understand why and how queer theoretical lenses continue to resonate, and to be remade, by each new generation. Essential reading for all those interested in the origins and enduring force of queer ideas. * Christy Newman, UNSW Sydney, Australia *
