Description: "The essays in Queer Universes investigate both contemporary and historical practices of constructing sexualities and genders in science fiction literature. While individual essays examine many different depictions of sexuality in sf and its relation to race, gender, class and species, all are informed by some aspect of queer theory and its critique of binary sexual definitions and of sexual normativity."--Jacket.
