Abstract

BO OK REVIEWS recommended reading for anyone looking for a comprehensive overview of queer economics, and will likely challenge most readers through at least one article outside the reader’s disciplinary background. The juxtaposition of the articles provides ample fodder for new perspectives and new research. The volume lends itself to helping create prolonged study of the field, paving the way for future collaborative efforts. In relation to the field of feminist economics, the book provides necessary reading. It can hopefully encourage feminist economic practi- tioners to question their own biases with regard to hetero- and gender- normativity and offer a method of re-envisioning relationships between women and men. At least one article from this text should be incorporated into any class on feminist economics or the economics of discrimination, so that future practitioners can incorporate sexual orientation as a funda- mental (versus marginal) part of the field.
