Anthropological Explorations in Queer Theory offers a wide ranging fusion of queer theory with anthropological theory, shifting away from the discussion of gender categories and identities that have often constituted a central concern of queer theory and instead exploring the queer elements of contexts in which they are not normally apparent.

The search for the first americans : science, power, politics
"Who were the First Americans? Where did they come from? When did they get here? Are they the ancestors of modern Native Americans?

The practice of science in its search for the First Americans is a flawed endeavo…
