From Laura Baich ([log in to unmask])
Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of:
Queer Ecologies
Sex, Nature, Politics, Desire
Edited by Catriona Mortimer-Sandilands and Bruce Erickson
"A carefully crafted and well-executed volume, this collection intervenes in several important contemporary discourses in ecology, eco-politics, and queer
theory, as well as more longstanding discourses of science and history." —Shannon Winnubst, Ohio State University
Treating such issues as animal sex, species politics, environmental justice, lesbian space and "gay" ghettos, AIDS literatures, and queer nationalities,
this lively collection asks important questions at the intersections of sexuality and environmental studies. Contributors from a wide range of disciplines present a focused engagement with the critical, philosophical, and political dimensions of sex and nature.
These discussions are particularly relevant to current debates in many disciplines, including environmental studies, queer theory, critical race theory, philosophy, literary criticism, and politics. As a whole,
Queer Ecologies stands as a powerful corrective to views that equate “natural” with “straight” while “queer” is held to be against nature.
