Reviews

This work is a wonderfully readable anthology of recent research in the relatively new field of queer linguistics....an excellent survey...a good introduction to the field for graduate students and professional anthropologists and linguists. --Anthropological Linguistics<br> Breaks new ground....Recommended for academic collections and large comprehensive gay and lesbian public library collections. --Library Journal<br> The editors are to be thanked for having assembled such a rich feast. --The Women's Review of Books<br>

Divine reader on language, gender and sexuality ... Livia and Hall have done a worhtwhile job by selecting the articles and presenting them in a well-structured collection of queer writing ... On the whole I think that this collection is highly recommendable. It fills a gap in the literature on the market on gender studies, is accessible and should be inviting to all kinds of readers, queer or straight or somewhere in between. * Journal of Gender Studies *
