“Imagining Queer Methods jumpstarts a much-needed conversation among sociologists, historians, and literary theorists about what exactly it means to ‘do’ queer work. Original and path-breaking, Imagining Queer Methods will change the way we think about and practice our scholarship.”

“This exhaustively researched book contributes never before seen detail to the historical record...Ghaziani vividly demonstrates that infighting, which is often seen as an unfortunate distraction to movements, is, in fact, critical.”

“A dazzling accomplishment, both conceptually and substantively. The Dividends of Dissent provides excellent data for addressing the ongoing debate over whether conflict within social movements is purely detrimental or can have positive consequences.”

“This delightful and illuminating book takes us out on the town—London town. It shows us that, despite a dominant narrative of the death of gay nightclubs, queer nightlife is thriving while becoming more inclusive and joyful than ever. A must-read for anyone interested in urban life, culture, and community!”

"Long Live Queer Nightlife is a celebration of radical inclusivity and the remaking of community--and a rediscovery of the joy of a night out.”

“The beauty of Ghaziani’s book is to remind us that at least as much conflict happens within a movement as without, and that how this conflict gets resolved powerfully shapes the development of the movement over time. An altogether welcome and groundbreaking addition to the social movement literature.”

“An accessible, absorbing look into an evolving form of queer culture, written by a brilliant sociologist.”

“Amin Ghaziani takes us to London’s most exciting club nights—in places you least expect—to reveal how queer nightlife thrives even when capitalism crushes the gay bar. This is rigorous, thumping cultural analysis.”

“If you live to dress up and go out, but you also appreciate beautiful, thorough research, you’re going to love this book. Grab your leather choker and DM for the address—we’re going underground.”

“Sex Cultures is a wonderful introduction to how to think about sexuality today. Unlike so many sexuality textbooks, here’s a teaching resource that elegantly weaves its way through cultural codes, political programs, and moral debates.”

"Ghaziani shines as an academic."

“Long Live Queer Nightlife is a hopeful and hugely generous book...As Ghaziani shows, fun is both life enhancing and deeply political.”

“Through the lens of gayborhoods, Amin Ghaziani offers a provocative and insightful new analysis of the gay experience. He combines historical documentation, popular media accounts, and empirical data to tell a compelling story of how gayborhoods shaped LGBT and urban life in America.”

“A rollicking, paradigm-shifting canter through the undergrounds of queer London.”

“With fluency and care, Amin Ghaziani brings us the voices and spaces of queer nightlife in the city. This is a book that listens closely, sees clearly, and dances freely. Against a sociology of loss, Ghaziani offers a counsel of joy.”

“Imagining Queer Methods brings together top scholars from across disciplines for a provocative tour of how queerness can challenge and invigorate research enterprises.”
