Most existing works are high-level theory books, texts focused upon specific disciplines or topics, or practical guides aimed primarily at a heterosexual audience or people just beginning to come out. There has been to date no general, accessible, and inclusive work suitable for use as an introduction to Queer Studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this collection, contributors assess the conflict between postmodernism and identity, the concept which typically serves as a linchpin for social and political organizing. Others address queer theory, looking specifically at how we define it, how it informs political activism, and how we can theorize such aspects of sexual performance\/behaviors as s\/m or butch-femme relationships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The volume contains contributions from both established and newly emerging Queer Studies scholars, including Amber Ault, M.
