{"product_id":"familiar-perversions-liz-montegary-9780813591360","title":"Familiar Perversions: The Racial, Sexual, and Economic Politics of LGBT Families","description":"\u003cb\u003eWinner of the 2018 Choice Outstanding Academic Title\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Over the past two decades, same-sex couples raising children have become more visible within US political and popular culture. Thanks to widely circulated images of well-mannered, well-dressed, and well-off two-parent families, a select number of LGBT-identified parents have gained recognition as model American citizens. In \u003ci\u003eFamiliar Perversions\u003c\/i\u003e, Liz Montegary shows how this seemingly progressive view of same-sex parenting has taken shape during a period of growing racial inequality and economic insecurity in the United States. This book evaluates the recent successes of the \"family equality\" movement, while asking important questions about its relationship to neoliberalism, the policing of sexual cultures, and the broader context of social justice organizing at the turn of the twenty-first century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Montegary's investigation of the politics of LGBT family life takes us on a journey that includes not only activist events and the courtrooms where landmark decisions about same-sex families were made, but also parenting workshops, cruise ships, and gay resort towns. Through its sustained historical analysis, \u003ci\u003eFamiliar Perversions\u003c\/i\u003e lays critical groundwork for imagining a queer family movement that can support and strengthen the diverse networks of care, kinship, and intimacy on which our collective survival depends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liz Montegary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813591368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813591360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 7.68w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018","brand":"Liz Montegary","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443708244223,"sku":"9780813591360","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd2dc4cd-da7a-407e-abb6-c26b2fdb2e00.jpg?v=1777207290","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/familiar-perversions-liz-montegary-9780813591360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
