"The story of gay rights has long been told as one of single-minded focus on the fight for sexual freedom. Yet the origins of modern queer liberation are much more complicated and dynamic than this single-issue interpretation would have us believe. As Roderick Ferguson argues in this revisionist reassertion, to ignore gay liberation's multi-dimensional beginnings is to drastically underestimate its radical potential for social change. Ferguson shows how gay liberation emerged out of various insurgent struggles crossing the politics of race, gender, class, and sexuality, and deeply connected to issues of colonization, incarceration, and capitalism. Tracing the rise and fall of this intersectional politics, he argues that the one-dimensional mainstreaming of queerness placed critiques of racism, political economy, and the state outside the remit of gay liberation, thereby supporting the notion that social and political freedom would come through capitalism. As recent intersectional queer activism is increasingly making clear, this one-dimensional legacy has promoted forms of racial, gender, and class exclusion that marginalize people of color, the poor, transgender individuals, and queers of color. This forceful book joins the call to reimagine and reconnect the fight for social justice in all its varied forms"--

But current political situations and societal developments such as globalization or movement of refugees require to broaden the perspectives in gender research. The volume aims at giving an insight into attempts to cope with these new challenges particularly in adult education. The articles of this book have been reviewed by Prof. Elisabeth Sander and Prof. Astrid Męczkowska-Christiansen. This stimulating book is very welcome with its range of case studies from diverse contexts [...]. - Alan Rogers, in: International Review of Education (2020) 66:123-125.
