Edinburgh German Yearbook 10

KYLE FRACKMAN is Associate Professor of German & Scandinavian Studies at the University of British Columbia.

[This volume ] excels in offering fascinating material and skillfully argued scholarship. It succeeds in foregrounding queer experiences within German culture, while also providing an accessible collection for those unfamiliar with the German or queer contexts. [A] worthy contribution to the steady queering of scholarship and society, an essential task in these precarious times.
