description: Treating such issues as animal sex species politics environmental justice lesbian space and gay ghettos AIDS literatures and queer nationalities this lively collection asks important questions at the intersections of sexuality and environmental studies. Contributors from a wide range of disciplines present a focused engagement with the critical philosophical and political dimensions of sex and nature. These discussions are particularly relevant to current debates in many disciplines including environmental studies queer theory critical race theory philosophy literary criticism and politics. As a whole Queer Ecologies stands as a powerful corrective to views that equate natural with straight while queer is held to be against nature.
