"The book is grounded in timely conceptual and methodological issues of theory in sexuality and gender studies (namely: feminism, trans studies and queer theory), which Kayte Stokoe analyses with sensitivity and nuance, ably drawing out the strengths and weaknesses of different theorists and proposing their own, original theoretical concept which is productive for those working at the intersection of gender studies and literature and which could become an important critical paradigm." - Lisa Downing, University of Birmingham, UK "Moving beyond the binaries so prevalent in discussions of drag performance, this exciting book pluralises and diversifies the conversation about drag. Rather than focusing on the usual conversations that pit drag against itself - arguments that primarily examine it as either radical or reactionary - this book takes a novel approach and emphases what drag does, how it operates, and importantly what it produces. Concentrating on Anglo American and French contexts, the argument pays particular attention to contemporary transfeminist perspectives and offers drag studies stimulating new perspectives, languages and tools for future drag conversations." - Stephen Farrier, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, UK.
