"Expanding traditional queer and critical race studies towards a
vital dialogue with urban cultural geographers, Queering Urban
Justice presents powerful reflections that transgress national
boundaries. Not only is this volume original and well written, it
also responds to the lack of course literature regarding emerging
communities of belonging. Queering Urban Justice is central for
both undergraduate and post-graduate education in several fields,
including, gender studies, queer studies, ethnic and racial
studies, and urban studies." --Diana Mulinari, Department of Gender
Studies, Lund University
" Queering Urban Justice is an intellectually astute and
provocative collection of critical studies of difference. It brings
together historical and contemporary investigations of sexual
politics as they interlock with the dynamic conditions of
indigeneity, racialization, heteropatriarchy, diaspora, and
capitalism. By locating its analysis in Toronto, Queering Urban
Justice offers a deeply focused perspective on local resistance. At
the same time, the book connects with national and transnational
vectors that link Toronto to other parts of the world, thereby
revealing the city's multi-dimensional influences of activist
work." --Roland Sintos Coloma, Division of Teacher Education, Wayne
State University
"Compellingly articulated, Queering Urban Justice collects and
makes space for the memories, reflections, and activisms of
subaltern communities on the urban landscape of our city. Queer and
trans Toronto needs this book." --Dina Georgis, Women and Gender
Studies Institute, University of Toronto
