"...an excellent compendium of an emerging field whose full scope escapes us all."
Book Description
The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader is the most comprehensive multidisciplinary anthology of critical work in lesbian/gay studies. Bringing together forty-two groundbreaking essays--many of them already classics--this collection provides a much-needed introduction to the current state of lesbian/gay studies, and illustrates the diversity and power of current work in the field. Featuring essays by such prominent scholars as Judith Butler, John D'Emilio, Kobena Mercer, Adrienne Rich, Douglas Crimp and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader explores a multitude of sexual, ethnic, racial and socio-economic experiences. It also contains an extensive bibliographical essay that serves as an invaluable guide to further reading.
