Description

Working-Class Queers: Time, Place and Politics by Yvette Taylor offers a critical examination of the underrepresentation of working-class queers within queer structures and concepts. This timely analysis draws on growing research and radical activism in queer studies and feminism to challenge the policy, theory, and practice that have maintained queer middle-class privilege at the expense of working-class queers.

Yvette Taylor, a sociologist with extensive experience researching class and queer lives in the UK, critically engages with the experience of working-class queers through cycles of crisis, austerity, recession, and migration. Her work highlights the need for intersectional approaches to challenging working-class queer exclusion.

This book is a major contribution to queer feminist methods, offering rich insights into lived experience, the power lines of learning within institutions, and how people transform each other in community. It will be beneficial for years to come as it opens doors and transforms fault lines in our understanding of working-class queers.
