Queer Print in Europe

Queer Print in Europe presents a timely and necessary analysis of queer printmaking, zines and print culture. It is unique in its use of interviews, its wide-ranging historical and political analysis and its challenge to a rights-based historical teleology common in North American analyses of LGBTQ+ cultural phenomenon. – Alexandra Gonzenbach Perkins, Texas State University, USA
This book represents a vital contribution to the fields of queer history and queer print cultures. It starts from the insistence that queer community relies on the networked circulation of objects, information and ideas. From there, the various chapters explore a range of publications, each exploring how the circulation of printed material since the 1970s has shaped European LGBTQ activism. The collection offers a rich history of European queer print cultures and provides methodologies for future research in the field. – Sam McBean, Queen Mary University of London, UK
Davis and Guy provide a well-organized and thoughtfully selected collection of essays that represent an exciting broadening of the field of queer print culture from its often US-centered perspective. Exploring themes of inclusion/exclusion, connection/debate, past/present, this book offers both scholars and those interested in queer culture an enticing entry into queer worldmaking. In bringing different voices together and exploring a variety of publications, Queer Print in Europe does exactly what these circulated objects did—foster connection and invite further collaboration. – Alexis Bard Johnson, Curator at ONE Archives, University of Southern California, USA
