Title: « It’s so queer ! »by Sabrina Bouarour
Review by: Alistair Fox, University of Otago
“The strengths of this book are obvious: it is very thoroughly researched, as its extensive bibliography attests, and it provides useful contextual information, such as the evolution of perspectives on gender and sexuality as they developed in the United States and France, respectively, and the emergence of alternative masculinities in both countries. “
