Review:

"A quality read that is truly committed to exploring the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality."--Kathleen J. Fitzgerald, Loyola University, New Orleans

"This collection of diverse essays prompts students to approach sex, gender, and sexuality as social constructions; to think critically about the interrelations between sex, gender, and sexuality; and to consider how to advance further discussion of these topics in ways that make the lives of all individuals more understandable, secure, and authentic."--Kelly Dagan, Illinois College

"I like the approach very much. I especially applaud the editors for the inclusion of disability, transnational, and size-focused essays across the sections."--Julianne Guillard, University of Richmond
