About this book

Reviews

"The book is primarily an important creative and analytic contribution to contemporary queer, trans, critical race and kinship theory. Nevertheless, it is also of value for those who explore narratives and form as well as belonging and heritage 'beyond' kinship relations. As Weston illuminates, when exploring kinship, it can, if we are open to it, take us on unexpected routes."

-- Rebecka Rehnström Anthropology Book Forum

"Queer Kinship constitutes a remarkable achievement. Highly readable,theoretically rigorous and exemplary in its commitment to decentring colonial epistemologies, this collection stands to make a seminal contribution to queer and kinship studies. . . . Queer Kinship elicits that most elusive of sensations in the reader: excitement."

-- Ry Montgomery LSE Review of Books
