Are queers marginal to the study of class, and are the working classes marginal to queer studies? Yvette Taylor critically engages with the experience of working-class queers through cycles of crisis, austerity, recession, and migration to show how they have been underrepresented-and demands that this changes. Drawing on growing research and radical activism in queer studies and feminism, she critiques the policy, theory and practice that have maintained queer middle-class privilege at the expense of working-class queers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eYvette Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e is a sociologist and has researched class and queer lives in the UK for over 20 years.
