"...highly readable book...This is an exceptionally good read, even
for the academically uninitiated and the theoretically wary." --
Lambda Book Report
"Appropriate for advanced undergraduates and graduate-level
students, this is recommended for large academic libraries." --
Library Journal
"Every sentence of Long Slow Burn burns in effigy the sanitized
vision of the social sciences that relegates sexuality to a realm
beneath "legitimate" knowledge. The scholarly and polemical essays
collected here challenge the histories, theories, and rhetorical
modes that regulate disciplinary notions of "tradition"; at the
same time, Kath Weston wages compelling arguments against the
ahistorical and class-aversive tendencies of contemporary sexuality
studies." -- Lauren Berlant, University of Chicago
"Wonderfully written, it is a work of consummate grace, critical
acuity, persuasive power...it provokes us--profoundly,
brilliantly--to think anew about the location of sexuality in the
social sciences. And in the world at large." -- John Comaroff,
University of Chicago
