Riassunto

The new Third Edition of Finding Out: An Introduction to LGBTQ Studies provides readers with an accessible and riveting introduction to LGBTQ (lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender-queer) studies. Designed as a combination of introductory text and reader, Finding Out helps students understand the growth and development of LGBTQ identities and the interdisciplinary nature of sexuality studies. The book combines comprehensive introductory and explanatory material with primary source readings. The authors provide context (from history, literature and the arts, media, politics, and more) to form a coherent framework for understanding the included debates and readings. Going beyond simply providing a historical account, this easy-to-follow text offers an in-depth examination of LGBTQ culture and society—making LGBTQ studies a central part of your course coverage.

Recensione

"Finding Out is an excellent and much-needed overview of LBGTQ studies, providing a thorough history and evocative readings reflecting a variety of perspectives and experiences." 

(Brecken Chinn)

“Great introductory book that gives equal weight to historical and contemporary topics”

(Parandeh Kia)

 “I can’t remember ever enjoying reading a textbook so much since I was a graduate student. "

(Teresa Sabourin)

"...The information and history provided in [Finding Out] are unlike anything I’ve had the opportunity to read. Queer history is so often completely ignored in schools, so this really gives me an opportunity to talk about where we’ve been, and where we’re going, and hopefully encourage our students to get out from behind their computers and help to continue making change for the LGBT community!"

(Lynn Zlotkowski)

"Only introductory textbook for LGBT studies AND it covers a good range of topics, quality of scholarship is good, and has some good primary source readings; students in an introductory, general education course find it both accessible and interesting."
(Diana L Swanson)
