"Women's Studies, Feminist Theory, Gay and Lesbian Studies, African
American Studies, Gender Studies, Women's and Gender Studies,
Critical Race Theory, Cultural Studies, Sexuality Studies,
Transgender Studies, Queer Theory - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender and Queer Studies. This anthology collects new work by
people who have helped keep identity-inflected "Studies" from
settling down. And across its broad scope, it argues for the
continuing centrality of sexuality. Its appearance is a big moment:
don't miss it."
