Throughout, the contributors address the ways in which lesbian studies has transformed and will continue to transform traditional disciplines, practices, and thought. With its mulitcultural, multidisciplinary breadth and its unique emphasis on theory, practice, and activism, The New Lesbian Studies speaks to a broad audience of students, activists, and scholars: -Kath Weston on being an "insider" doing gay fieldwork; -Yolanda Chavez Leyva on creating a Latina lesbian history; -Leila Rupp on uncovering same-sex love and sexuality in history; -Vivien Ng on reconstructing the lives of "lesbians" in Chinese history, despite theprevailing opinion that lesbianism is a Western category; -Evelyn Blackwood on the pitfalls-and importance-of cross-cultural studies; -Ellen Broidy on "cyberdykes" networking globally and publicly; -Susan Cahn on the deep-seated homophobia in women's collegiate sports; <
