A one-stop, no-nonsense introduction to the core of postmodern
theory, particularly its impact on queer and gender studies. Nationally
known gender activist Riki Wilchins combines straightforward prose
with concrete examples from LGBT and feminist politics, as well
as her own life, to guide the reader through the ideas that have
forever altered our understanding of bodies, sex and desire. This
is that rare postmodern theory book that combines accessibility,
passion, personal experience and applied politics, noting at every
turn why these ideas matter and how they can affect your daily
life.
