Summary
Love and Money argues that we can’t understand contemporary queer cultures without looking through the lens of social class. Resisting old divisions between culture and economy, identity and privilege, left and queer, recognition and redistribution, Love and Money offers supple approaches to capturing class experience and class form in and around queerness.

Critics Review
“Love and Money is at once fiercely intellectual and full of heart, formidable and invitingly funny. In this series of essays, Lisa Henderson offers some of the sharpest, most imaginative analysis of queerness and social class out there, shaking up entrenched ideas about how the two are and should be related.”—Joshua Gamson, University of San Francisco “Henderson’s affective approach to the case history yields rich accounts of the resourceful survival strategies through which queer films and novels get made despite limited means. Exemplifying the values of love and solidarity that she finds in her cases, her critical practice offers innovative approaches to thinking queer and class together and fresh answers to longstanding questions about what it means to make art in a market economy.”–Ann Cvetkovich, University of Texas, Austin
