Queer Anthropology

""Queer Anthropology is the primer we've needed! This gem of a book brings the critical reflexivity of queer anthropology into the introductory classroom--without oversimplifying or straightening it out. David A.B. Murray deftly surveys queer anthropology's contested histories and vital interventions, inviting students to share in making its expansive future.""--Margot Weiss, Wesleyan University ""With Queer Anthropology, David A.B. Murray has given us a stunningly effective overview of queer anthropology from its origins to the present. Murray's clear explanations of concepts, debates, and methods are a true accomplishment. This book will be invaluable for those seeking to better understand queer anthropology's insights, contributions, and futures.""--Tom Boellstorff, University of California, Irvine ""David A.B. Murray offers a much-needed text that trenchantly maps the genealogy of queer anthropology. The book elegantly limns the roots and routes of this field of inquiry and provides a necessary guide for students and researchers.""--Martin F. Manalansan IV, Rutgers University ""Every time I've taught queer anthropology, this is the book I've wished I had. With concision, insight, and imagination, David A.B. Murray leads the reader through the histories, controversies, and oblique lines of queer study in the field of anthropology. Perfect for teaching and a reliable reference for scholars, Queer Anthropology is an important and welcome contribution.""--Naisargi N. Davé, University of Toronto
