Reihe: Perverse Modernities: A Series Edited by Jack Halberstam and Lisa Lowe

Jack Halberstam offers an alternative history of sexuality by tracing the ways in which the wild—a space located beyond normative borders of sexuality—offers sources of opposition to knowing and being that transgress Euro-American notions of the modern subject.
