fantasminoo 's review for:
Queer: A Graphic History
by Meg-John Barker
Wonderful and concise overview of queer theory and its history. Love the art style as well :)
When reading this, remember who this book is for: People who don't know much about queer theory yet, who are questioning whether they might be queer or have queer friends, but are not queer themselves. The way this is structured and the examples chosen make a lot of sense for the target group. It describes the already existing discussions of queer theory and adds nothing new - and the latter is not the purpose of this book. If you want critical analysis, this is not the book for you. The topic is so complex and this book does a wonderful job of giving an introduction and overview.
