It will challenge its readers, even when they close Adler's pages, to look outside their field of vision and ask themselves what ideas of sexual justice and other kinds they rule out as unimaginable. -- Robert Leckey * Sexualities * Adler invites us to shift priorities, focusing on the poorest and most marginalized sectors of our communities while at the same time resisting and challenging the prototypical frames of gay identity-the picket-fenced same-sex headed household. . . . [An] important contribution toward a more emancipatory queer agenda. . . . [A] timely reminder that the legacy of Stonewall is still unfolding. -- Scott Skinner-Thompson * Slate * Libby Adler takes a smart, provocative, and fascinating approach to the question of law reform on LGBTQ rights. Proposing to upend the civil rights horizon formulated by the official representatives of the LGBTQ community, Adler makes a rigorous and radical critique of the conventional wisdom about what it means to 'win' gay rights. We desperately need these kinds of sustained and argued challenges to the mainstream gay rights agenda. -- Katherine Franke, author of * Wedlocked: The Perils of Marriage Equality * Gay Priori is a signal achievement and perhaps the first book to give real legal-theoretical, lawyering, and critical legal studies substance to the debates in the humanities it addresses. Brilliantly executed and tightly argued, Libby Adler's book is a major intervention that may help produce a more economically redistributive LGBT social movement in the United States. -- Janet Halley, author of * Split Decisions: How and Why to Take a Break from Feminism * Author InformationLibby Adler is Professor of Law and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Northeastern University and coeditor of the fourth edition of Mary Joe Frug's Women and the Law.
