Warped: Gay Normality And Queer Anti-capitalism Summary

Warped: Gay Normality And Queer Anti-capitalism: Historical Materialism, Volume 92 by Peter Drucker

Recent victories for LGBT rights have gone faster than most people imagined possible. Yet the accompanying rise of gay 'normality' has been perplexing for activists with radical sympathies. Global in scope and drawing on a wide range of feminist, anti-racist and queer scholarship, Warped: Gay Normality and Queer Anti-Capitalism shows how the successive 'same-sex formations' of the past century and a half, corresponding to phases of capitalist development, have led to the emergence of today's 'homonormativity' and 'homonationalism' and to ongoing queer resistance.

Warped: Gay Normality And Queer Anti-capitalism Reviews

Warped makes a very significant contribution to the discussion. It covers the period from the late nineteenth century to the present day, and addresses issues in non-European cultures as well as Europe and North America. It reflects an enormous breadth of reading, and anyone interested in leftist writing on LGBT history can learn a great deal from it. It also brings to bear some important new theoretical insights, from a Marxist perspective, into the history of sexuality. -Colin Wilson, rs21
