Description
This book provides a new way of understanding queer culture. The frameworks offered by queer theory-steeped in philosophical, theoretical and political commitments to 'difference'-have obscured the important investments in 'sameness' that have been central to queer history. Same old dwells on these investments and elucidates their significance. -- .
