Working-Class Queers Summary

Working-Class Queers: Time, Place and Politics by Yvette Taylor

'Holds rich and deep insights' - Sarah Schulman

Who cares about working-class queers in Britain today? Are queers marginal to the study of class, and are the working-classes marginal to queer studies? Yvette Taylor critically engages with the experience of working-class queers through cycles of crisis, austerity, recession and migration to show how they have been underrepresented and demands that this changes.

Drawing on growing academic and radical activism in queer studies and feminism, she critiques the policy, theory and practice that have maintained queer middle-class privilege at the expense of working-class queers.

Working-Class Queers Reviews

'A much needed and timely deep forensic dive into the underrepresentation of working class queers within our queer structures and concepts'

-- Juno Roche, writer

'This work holds rich and deep insights into lived experience, the power lines of learning within institutions, how people act on and transform each other in community. Yvette's book opens doors and transforms fault lines. It will be beneficial to thinkers, feelers and doers for years to come.'

-- Sarah Schulman, author of 'Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York' (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021)

'Building on more than two decades of care-ful, engaged research with classed LGBT+ communities, Working-Class Queers makes major intellectual and ethical contributions to queer feminist methods. This book is a must-read for thinkers asking about the how of queer and lesbian studies, not least in that it reflects intimate methods of sharing negotiated by a scholar working in troubled and hopeful times alike.'

-- Matt Brim, Professor of queer studies at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York
