"By positing queer as a point of departure for a broad critique that is calibrated to account for the social antagonisms of nationality, race, gender, and class, as well as sexuality, this special issue [of Social text], edited by Phillip Brian Harper, Anne McClintock, José Esteban Muñoz, and Trish Rosen, constitutes an intervention in what is still the early formative stage of queer-theoretical engagement."--Cover.
