redbecca's review
4.0
An impressive collection of contemporary essays on race, gender and sexuality. The authors revive women of color feminist texts from the 1980s as theoretical frameworks, rather than simply drawing from post-structuralist and more eurocentric versions of queer theory, although they draw on Deleuze, Derrida, Foucault, et al too. It provides a clear geneaology of contemporary "queer of color critique" & I would definitely use this book to teach from. It provides a good sampling of where the field is now, particularly in terms of literature and film studies. As with any collection, some essays are stronger than others.
