Cultural Politics - Queer Reading

"[Sinfield] makes a plea that subcultural minds of the Englit mold avoid that star system of ivory towerism and the mad rush toward gay and lesbian studies (perhaps another 'entrapment' by the mainstream heteroculture). Sinfield wants these effete Englit boys back on the streets; more engaged in the day-to-day than discussing over tea their accommodative reinterpretations of homo-representation. Sinfield has a priority: 'Ask not what you can do for Englit, but whether it can do anything for lesbian and gay people.'"Sinfield, Alan is the author of 'Cultural Politics - Queer Reading' with ISBN 9780812215427 and ISBN 0812215427.
