Description
One-Dimensional Queer challenges the conventional narrative of gay rights history, revealing its complex and multifaceted origins. Roderick A. Ferguson argues that queer liberation emerged from intersecting struggles with racism, class, and capitalism, and that this intersectional politics has been overlooked in mainstream accounts.
The book contends that the one-dimensional mainstreaming of queerness has led to forms of exclusion that marginalize queers of color, the poor, and transgender individuals. Ferguson's work joins a call to reimagine and reconnect the fight for social justice, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of queer liberation.
This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on the history of gay rights, encouraging readers to consider the radical potential of intersectional politics for social change.
