Rezensionen

'This volume brings a level of sophistication to both the social sciences and humanities-based queer theory as a way to ignite a new queer cultural studies. Using interdisciplinary methods, it makes the reader seize a queer futurity we already have access to if only at momentarily times and spaces refusing to accept that belonging, and making community, aren't happening today. This book moves beyond simple, neoliberal markers of 'equality,' paying attention to other axes of power besides sexuality - truly embodying the minoritarian subject positions of queer utopias. Through sites such as NGOs and classrooms, practices such as barebacking and BDSM, and the use of parenting and performance, these chapters 'move' us all toward a productive sense of queer politics.' - Salvador Vidal-Ortiz, Editor, The Sexuality of Migration, Associate Sociology Professor, American University, USA

"This fascinating volume assembles qualitative research that, by tracing the extraordinary potential inherent in ordinary lives and everyday practices of freedom, gives the lie to anti-futurity polemics in queer theory. A Critical Inquiry into Queer Utopias pushes a vital conversation to the next level." Tim Dean, Professor of English, The State University of New York at Buffalo, USA
