Rezensionen

'Challenging narrowly discursive and deconstructive approaches, Intersections between Feminist and Queer Theory brings together a stellar list of international scholars to make a powerful case for a theoretically robust, 'materialist' and intersectional approach to the critical analysis of gender and sexuality. This text is brimming with novel and exciting ideas about what a critical gender and sexualities studies should look like as we confront the tough realities of the present.' - Steven Seidman, Professor of Sociology, University at Albany, USA, and author of Contested Knowledge: Social Theory Today

'Enjoyable, interesting and timely.' - Sexualities
