Queer Presences and Absences Summary

Queer Presences and Absences by Yvette Taylor

This book explores changes and continuations in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer lives, identities and spatial practices in the 21st century from around the globe, using a range of methods to connect pasts, places and policies with contemporary times, linking individual and social presences (and absences) affectively and materially.

Queer Presences and Absences Reviews

The book provides a platform for those stories often left untold or voices left unheard, shedding light on queer lives as everyday lives, performed within everyday spaces. ... This publication is a timely reminder that there is a 'persistent need to be attentive to inequalities across places and positions'. (Valerie De Craene, INSEP - Journal of the International Network for Sexual Ethics & Politics, Vol. 4 (02), 2016)
