Feminist and Queer Theory: An Intersectional and Transnational Reader
Feminist and Queer Theory: An Intersectional and Transnational Reader is a comprehensive collection designed to meet the evolving needs of gender and sexuality studies in higher education. Rather than treating queer theory as a simple addition to feminist thought, this volume theorizes at the very intersection of these fields, transforming and reshaping their traditional boundaries. It invites readers to move beyond U.S.-centered intersectional perspectives and rethink transnationalism as more than just an “additive” component, framing feminist and queer inquiry as deeply interconnected within a global context.
The reader features a diverse array of scholarly, activist, and creative voices from both inside and outside the United States. The curated selections highlight critical contemporary issues, including the complexities of im/migration and borders, as well as the impact of science, technology, and digital cultures on modern identity and theory. This text serves as an essential resource for understanding the vibrantly expanding landscape of feminist and queer inquiry today.
