- Summary:
- This text explores the emergence of new ways of understanding lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered peoples. It does so in the context of broader debates around culture, experience and discourse.
- Queer Theory and Social Change argues that there is a crisis within Queer theory over whether or not its theories can actually deliver change. Max Kirsch presents a challenging alternative to the current fascination with post-modern analyses of identity, culture, and difference. It emphasizes the need for a discussion of the importance of communities and the role of globalization on queer movements.
