Summary: highly recommended.
Comment: This book provides an excellent overview of what has been grouped into "queer theory". It explains Foucault and the subsequent development of queer theories about various topics very concisely. The author discusses major contemporary thinkers like Judith Butler, and yet the prose and the layout remain straightforward and amazingly simple. No other queer theory book provides so much information in 80 pages.
By the way, anyone who likes the style of this book should check out the other brief and entertaining books in the "Postmodern Encounters" series.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good Intro to Foucault and Queer Theory
Comment: Michel Foucault's work on sexuality was highly influential in the formation of Queer Theory. This short book gives a readable introduction to Foucault's complex argument, and to the ways in which this argument influenced Queer Theory. It is very succesful in conveying complex theoretical ideas in a clear way, and will be useful as an introduction to be read before, or after, reading Foucault and the ones influenced by him.
