L. R. James and Paul Gilroy, and of queer and sexuality studies, including notable figures such as Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick.

Fully revised to keep up to date with this diverse field, this new edition expands the coverage to include entries such as hyperobject and transgender.Entries are fully cross-referenced and many contain further reading suggestions.Covering all aspects of critical theory from globalization and race studies, to queer theory and feminism, this multidisciplinary A-Z is essential for students in the humanities and social sciences.
