“Unsettling Queer Anthropology offers a constellation of views of queer anthropology, from the mess, beauty, violences, and vitality that constitutes it. The contributors engage throughout with queerness as object, method, mode of inquiry, ethos, and intellectual orientation. This book demonstrates that queer anthropology is always unsettling itself, always striving and gladly failing, always aspirationally queer.” -- Naisargi N. Davé, author of * Indifference: On the Praxis of Interspecies Being * “If you think you know queer anthropology, think again: Margot Weiss and the contributors to this volume shake up, mess with, and reinvigorate conversations about the possibilities and limits of queer anthropology for the twenty-first century. Unsettling Queer Anthropology is a timely, vital, and very necessary read for anyone engaged in queer and/or anthropological studies.” -- David A.B. Murray, author of * Real Queer?: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Refugees in the Canadian Refugee Apparatus *
