In an eloquent challenge to the privileging of queer theory in the academy, Garber calls for recognition of the historical--and intellectually significant--role of lesbian poets as theorists of lesbian identity and activism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe connections, Garber shows, are most clearly seen when looking at the pivotal work of working-class lesbians\/lesbians of color whose articulations of multiple, simultaneous identity positions and activist politics both belong to lesbian feminism and presage queer theory. \u003ci\u003eIdentity Poetics\u003c\/i\u003e includes a critical overview of recent historical writing about the women's and lesbian-feminist movements of the 1970s; discussions of the works of Judy Grahn, Pat Parker, Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, and Gloria Anzald俉; and, finally, a chapter on the rise and hegemony of queer theory within lesbigay studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Garber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231110332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231110334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.04w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2002 pg. 1887","brand":"Linda Garber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054452502783,"sku":"9780231110334","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0dbfc0f2-2d79-44ad-9667-6ca94dd7d6ce.jpg?v=1685030060","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/identity-poetics-linda-garber-9780231110334","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
