In an eloquent challenge to the privileging of queer theory in the academy, Garber calls for recognition of the historical--and intellectually significant--role of lesbian poets as theorists of lesbian identity and activism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe connections, Garber shows, are most clearly seen when looking at the pivotal work of working-class lesbians\/lesbians of color whose articulations of multiple, simultaneous identity positions and activist politics both belong to lesbian feminism and presage queer theory. \u003ci\u003eIdentity Poetics\u003c\/i\u003e includes a critical overview of recent historical writing about the women's and lesbian-feminist movements of the 1970s; discussions of the works of Judy Grahn, Pat Parker, Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, and Gloria Anzaldúa; and, finally, a chapter on the rise and hegemony of queer theory within lesbigay studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinda Garber is associate professor in the department of English and the Program for the Study of Women and Gender at Santa Clara University.
