In this diverse and balanced collection, the contributors explore the impact of ACT UP, Queer Nation, multiculturalism, the new religious right, outing, queerness, postmodernism, and shifts in the cultural politics of sexuality. "Suggesting new agendas for social theory, this book moves beyond the idea that lesbians and gay men share a minority identity and shows that queer sexualities take many forms, are the subject of many conflicts and struggles, and must be taken as a starting point in thinking about cultural politics." —Lambda Rising News "Filled with sharp insights, not least because it succeeds in including not only smart writing but also writers from different and overlapping identities." —Contemporary Sociology "Fear of a Queer Planet is a pioneering and important project that definitely queers theory." —Journal of American Folklore Contributors: Lauren Berlant, Douglas Crimp, Elizabeth Freeman, Diana Fuss, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Jonathan Goldberg, Cathy Griggers, Janet E. Halley, Philip Brian Harper, Andrew Parker, Cindy Patton, Robert Schwartzwald, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Steven Seidman. 366 pages | 1993
