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.

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 TorontoExpanding 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.
