"Tucker successfully resists closing down debate, carefully
qualifying his points without qualifying them out of existence. His
assessments are many, detailed and well substantiated by interview
quotations. One is unable to comprehensively review the many
valuable insights he brings here. Read the book." (Book Southern
Africa, September 2010)"Queer Visibilities is a
much-needed intervention in the geographies of sexualities. Drawing
upon extensive ethnographic and archival work, it provides a
theoretically sophisticated examination of the interconnected
politics of class and race in the production of sexualised space
within contemporary Cape Town."
–Jon Binnie, Manchester Metropolitan University
"How can we understand the closet if we do not understand our
visibilities? Tucker has provided an impressive study driven by
intellectual parley between geography, queer theory, postcolonial
and development studies. This book adds to the already powerful
queer geographies on a fascinating place as well as to debates
around queer globalisations."
–Michael Brown, University of Washington
