Description

Queer: A Graphic History explores the complex and often disputed histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action. Dr. Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules Scheele present a unique and engaging portrait of the universe of queer thinking, examining how our understanding of sex, gender, and sexuality has evolved over time.

From the influence of Alfred Kinsey's view of sexuality as a spectrum to the challenges of Judith Butler's concept of gendered behaviour as a performance, this graphic history delves into the ways in which our culture and biology have shaped our understanding of these fundamental concepts.

Presented in a witty and engaging style, Queer: A Graphic History offers a fresh and thought-provoking look at the complexities of queer thinking, inviting readers to consider the ways in which our perspectives on sex, gender, and sexuality have been shaped and challenged over time.
