"This attention to the materiality of the city, as well as the relational complexities of historical and contemporary interactions between queer men from different racialised backgrounds is one of the major strengths of this book. Queer Visibilities offers valuable lessons for sexual geographers and urban geographers alike and deserves to be widely read." (Area, 2011)

"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
