Queering Anarchism: Addressing and Undressing Power and Desire by J. Rogue, Deric Shannon, C.B. Daring, Abbey Volcano

3.0

It was okay. The essays kind of ranged in quality quite a bit. There were a few that really stuck out to me--the one about crip theory and the prison complex stood out to me, as well as one touching on the evolution of capitalism a little bit. But for the most part the essays felt kind of basic and not anything new to anyone who knows the basics of queer theory or anarchist theory. Quite a few of them felt a little too much like "What about the straights?". I think there's value in discussing and analyzing straight people and how they relate to their sexuality and straightness as a construct/concept, but that's not what I'm looking for in a book about queer people.

Overall I found the harder theory stuff more interesting, but the rest of it felt too much like fluff. I figure this book is aimed more at anarchists who haven't engaged with queer thought rather than the other way around.
