I n Locking Queer, Dawn Atkins has assembled an enornous collection of essays exploring the relationships between body form, self-reference, and sexual identity. Gender is very much a product of social action in these essays and the diverse racial, ethnic, and class backgrounds of the contributors show that gender is equally dependent on the details of social location. Both points are central points in the queer theory canon, but seldom has the truth of that canon been confirmed through such powerful and personalized means. Looking Queer may be the first collection to attack the demons of body fascism head-on. And if nothing else, these essays assure those of us unable to meet the expectations of these physical ideal(s)we are not alone.

REVIEWS, COMMENTARIES, EVALUATIONS.. .
L ooking Queer offers searing, gutsy, and political accounts of looksism in and out of queer communities. True to its roots in gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans-gendered activism, it includes articles from a remarkable array of writers.
This is a book you can read out loud to your loverin bed or at the breakfast table; to a physician threatening to make a boy-girl one sex or the other; and to people who already know or want to understand the power of coming out and the healing power of touch. This book deserves room on the bookshelf with other writings on lesbian and gay life in the age of breast cancer and AIDS; with feminist writings that aim to account for race, class and sexuality; and with scholarship that keeps the body at the center of focus. As Dawn Atkins writes in her introduction, this book is about building a community that will look at our bodies differently and at different bodies with equal joy.

A lthough one would never know it from examining the burgeoning queer studies literature, body image concerns are every bit as prevalent in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people as among heterosexual women. This powerful book presents body image issues in a refreshing mix of academic theory and personal account, and fills a glaring hole in queer or lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender studies. The book is appropriate for a wide variety of audiences, from academic classes on eating disorders or body image, to courses on gender and sexuality. It is also a powerful read for people in LGBT support groups or reading groups, or for individuals who struggle with body image issues themselves.
