Lesbian and gay scholarship suffers from a certain stasis that Sexual Cultures is determined to disrupt, a stasis that derives from an overarching concern with the local, the masculine, and the white subject. Taking lesbian, gay, and sexuality stud ies as its points of departure—and not ends in themselves—books in this series promote scholarship about the lived experiences of sexual minorities.

This means maintaining strong activist and community commitments, and forging links between academe and existing queer cultures. In the process, Sexual Cultures expands the definition of what lesbian and gay studies includes, particularly in the areas of race, national ity, religion, and class.

The series entertains manuscripts from a variety of academic disciplines on a wide range of academic and nonacademic subjects. All of the books in Sexual Cultures have critical horizons large enough to take in the current transformations of knowledges, identities, and capital on a shifting world stage. Pursuing scholar ship that can speak across disciplinary boundaries, as well as the border between academic and activist, Sexual Cultures seeks above all to intervene in and enable a vibrant and public queer culture.
