Editorial Reviews
Review
Draws attention to the intersections of privilege and opportunity in Gay life, themes which are usually overlooked....Speaks directly to interests in sexuality, race and class position which are now popular in Lesbian and Gay male studies courses.
–The Washington Blade
An impressive collection of essays....All of the essays are, in fact, fantastically provocative and they provide an insightful corrective to the excessive textualization of some postmodern analytics.
–NWSA Journal
Examining societies rather than literature, this crosscultural anthology is remarkably strong on class and historical analysis....The Gender/Sexuality Reader is the definitive counterblow to claims that gender theory is important only to queers, feminists, and shrinks.
–Lesbian Review of Books, Winter 1997

This Reader Delivers The Goods,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gender/Sexuality Reader: Culture, History, Political Economy (Paperback)
A lot of books in the field give lip service to the idea that gender, sexuality, race, and class are somehow "connected" or "interconnected." This big book shows, convincingly, how they're connected--both historically, and in the present. The text includes stimulating essays on the history of colonialism and modern medicine; well-wrought ethnographic case studies on gender, race, and sexuality; and content-based theory (i.e., theory based on some empirical evidence). An indespensible resource for courses in gender, sexuality, lesbigay studies, and critical race studies.

This review is from: The Gender/Sexuality Reader: Culture, History, Political Economy (Paperback)
I received the book quickly and it is in good condition. There was something yellow spilled on the first 10 pages which I would have liked to have known about. Otherwise, good book and good seller.
