The View from the other side

It is a great book with wonderful insight into a world that you think you know, but can only truly know about if the point is seen from the other side and this book does that.

Entering a Queer Culture

As a newcomer into the rhelm of queer theory and also as a graduate student, I found this book highly interesting, sparking many topics useful for analysis,like Judith Butler, and controversy, like Gayle Rubin. Most of the essays captured the readers attention and urged for outside investigation for newcomers on issues like Stonewall, AIDS, and ACT UP. Adequate background information was given about queer cultures in general allowing ample understanding of such texts. While reading certain essays, though, there was a struggle to try and relate them to the rest of the text.
