Queerly Canadian: An Introductory Reader in Sexuality Studies

by Maureen Fitzgerald (editor), Scott Rayter (editor)

In this remarkable and comprehensive anthology, many of Canada's leading sexuality studies scholars examine the fundamental role that sexuality has played--and continues to play--in the building of our nation, and in our national narratives, myths, and anxieties about Canadian identity.

Covering both historical and contemporary perspectives on law and criminal justice, organizing and resistance, health and medicine, labour, education, marriage and family, sport, popular and youth culture, and visual media, these essays also integrate marginalities such as race, class, and gender. This massive interdisciplinary collection is essential for the Canadian sexuality studies classroom, and for anyone interested in the mythologies and realities of queer life in Canada.

[Sabrarf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh, I truly love this book! lots of great articles related to queer experiences and theories! Found it very interesting because of the diverse areas that this book covered. Some part of it where truly like stories for bedtime! of course sad but moving and other parts were theoretical and historical! It is also in Canadian context which is good since we are all tired of US hegemony in everything including theories and even narratives!
I will definitely recommend this book if you are queer or interested in queer perspectives!
