Description:
The purpose of The International Gay & Lesbian Review (IGLR) is to provide abstracts and reviews of books, both fiction and non-fiction, that relate to all aspects of lesbian, gay, homosexual, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and sexual variance topics. Readers are invited to submit a review of a book they have read, or to write their comment on a book that has already been reviewed by another reader. This process is designed to overcome the limited nature of print journals, in which a single reviewer is the sole voice of evaluation of a book. Taking advantage of the interactive nature of the World Wide Web, the Editor also invites authors to respond to critiques of their writings by reviewers and commentators. Selected unpublished Ph.D. dissertations and MA theses may also be reviewed. IGLR uses the new possibilities of the World Wide Web to change the nature of book reviewing, as well as to encourage thoughtful interchange among readers throughout the world. Reviews are to be written clearly, without jargon, in order to be accessible to a worldwide multidisciplinary academic and non-academic readership.
