"Queer Constellations sets a new standard and methodological trend in queer studies. A major contribution to the space/place debates." —Cindy Patton, author of Globalizing AIDS

"Inspired, eloquent, and compelling. [Queer Constellations] freshly and bravely revisits gay and lesbian culture tropes and questions cultural assumptions from all quarters. The apparent hedonism and frivolity of consumerism is given a tough dressing down through its links to wreckage, displacement, and ruin, while its connection to cultural production and urban economics is underscored. And most significant of all, the powerful concept of “queer constellation” is developed and forged into a real tool for understanding the trans/formations of queer cultures." —Journal of the History of Sexuality
