Books like Queer by Meg-John Barker

Name: Queer
Rating: 4.8 (5 reviews)
Author: Meg-John Barker

In this non‑fiction graphic novel, activist and scholar Meg‑John Barker partners with cartoonist Jules Scheele to outline the development of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action. The book examines how concepts of sexuality, gender, and identity have been shaped by political movements, scientific research, and cultural productions. It highlights pivotal figures and moments— from Alfred Kinsey’s spectrum of sexuality to Judith Butler’s performance theory, and from the play *Wicked* to representations of James Bond in *Casino Royale*— all illustrating the ways that ideas about what is ‘normal’ are contested and redefined. Presented in an engaging and witty visual style, the work offers a concise portrait of the history and ongoing dialogue surrounding queer theory and activism.
