Queer: A Graphic History by Meg-John Barker

informative reflective

3.5

This book is less a history of queer people or experiences than it is of the academic discipline of queer theory. It's a really good run down of academic queer theory, with the major figures and ideas and the shifts over time, but not quite what I was expecting going into it. In some ways, it doesn't really jive with the lived experience of queer people, but it also acknowledges that as one of the challenges that queer theory has been grappling with. Overall a good read, I just never quite got into it.
