Rezensionen

"Allies and allyship have a mixed reputation in LGBTQI+ studies, with fraught debates about when, where, and how they should be a part of movement building. Wendy Cumming-Potvin's new monograph on the topic both clarifies a path forward and complicates definitions and the field of inquiry across Canada, Australia, and the United States [...]. In our current political climate in the United States where anti-trans health bills, anti-drag bills, and the criminalization of discussions of intersectionality and critical race theory, Cumming-Potvin reminds us all of the need for allyship across identity categories to fight back, build anew, and collectively heal from the constant barrage of dehumanizing legislation. The few moments where allies were fundamental in supporting trans rights will stay with us and hopefully inspire some more allies who read this important work to do the same in our current moment." - Aubry Threlkeld and Corey Leach, Teachers College Record
