"""This immensely useful collection of essays rigorously and insightfully addresses urgent questions about sexuality, space and place in an impressive variety of contexts. It will be of benefit not only to geographers, but also to anyone interested in a rich, nuanced analysis of the production and control of sex, sexuality, and sexual and gender identities and subcultures."" – Dean Spade, Seattle University School of Law, USA ""This volume definitively demonstrates that the study of sexuality is not a sub-field of Geography but rather a crucial and integral component that, taken up seriously, inherently redefines the field. Comprehensive, well-organized, and all-encompassing, it is a must for any syllabus not solely on sexuality studies, but more trenchantly, on human geography. The encapsulation of many decades of work on sexuality and its implications for the study and field of geography is breathtaking."" – Jasbir K. Puar, Rutgers University, USA and author of Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times""On the whole [...] this book is an impressive marker in the field [...] For those who still hold doubts about the status of geographies of sexualities, the volume clarifies the real importance of the subject in how it can help us think about identity, behaviour, place and space. The value of this collection lies in helping to further cement (or for some, legitimise) geographies of sex and sexualities as a growing field of research with valuable provocations for scholars in numerous related fields. Sex and sexualities research can now boast a book capturing the healthy state of the discipline in 2017, as well as a useful reference work for scholars, researchers and policy workers alike."" - Sam Miles, Department of Geography, Queen Mary, University of London, in Antipode (January 2017)"
