That's Revolting!: Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation by
Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.
DNF - read to page 46
I dnf’d this book because it wasn’t what I was looking for. This isn’t to say it was bad, at least of the essays I had read. Just a note that it wasn’t clear to me how the essays were grouped in each section and thought that was a weakness if you were trying to pinpoint something specific.
Who might like this book? Mainly radical queers or those interested in radical queer thought though be warned this book is dated. Not dated as in themes because many of what issues this book focuses on is still pertinent today. However, I think currently there is a better understanding of how racism permeates even the left, the need for more poc voices and more openings for our voices to be heard, and a shift or new ways of community building that move things forward. Ultimately, I think that’s what I was looking for. How people think and build movements in the 2020s.
