Description

Inviting readers to imagine simultaneously explore new topographies of sexuality and the state, this collection of essays offers a broad reconceptualisation of cultural issues ranging from law, history, fiction and film to national parks, urban neighbourhoods and fashion. Written with wit, iron and keen literary insight, this groundbreaking anthology features a list of contributors that reads like a Who's Who in Canadian Queer Studies, a realm of investigation characterised by its political engagement, intellectual commitment and diversity.
