Who cares about working-class queers in Britain today? Are queers marginal to the study of class, and are the working-classes marginal to queer studies?
Yvette Taylor critically engages with the experience of working-class queers through cycles of crisis, austerity, recession and migration to show how they have been underrepresented and demands that this changes.
Drawing on growing academic and radical activism in queer studies and feminism, Working-Class Queers critiques the policy, theory and practice that have maintained queer middle-class privilege at the expense of working-class queers.
Yvette Taylor is a sociologist and has researched class and queer lives in the UK for over 20 years. Yvette has worked with educational professionals, policy makers, and community organisations on developing intersectional approaches to challenging working-class queer exclusion.
