Queer: A Graphic History by Meg-John Barker
challenging
informative
slow-paced
4.0
a bit like reading a long wikipedia article. this was extremely informative to me and i feel like the authors accomplished their goal of providing a pretty accessible start to people new to queer theory. the descriptions are short and concise but somehow to me still felt like an incredibly dense read. i also wish that the criticisms/more modern updates to queer theory were given more space, it felt disproportionate to me, especially considering i fit into the categories of people typically ignored. i think it is a solid and mostly approachable introduction and is giving me a lot more to read from since there are so many references throughout.
Moderate: Transphobia, Lesbophobia, Biphobia, and Homophobia
Minor: Sexual content
