A Companion to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies is the first single volume survey of current discussions taking place in this rapidly developing area of study.
* Recognizing the multidisciplinary nature of the field, the editors gather new essays by an international team of established and emerging scholars
* Addresses the politics, economics, history, and cultural impact of sexuality
* Engages the future of queer studies by asking what sexuality stands for, what work it does, and how it continues to structure discussions in various academic disciplines as well as contemporary politics
