ABOUT THE BOOK

When Monsters Speak collects essays from across the career of Susan Stryker, a foundational scholar in trans studies. Editor McKenzie Wark pairs Stryker's best-known articles with obscure texts, to ground her thought in its historical and geographical roots in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her introduction highlights Stryker's debt to early queer theory, media studies, autotheory, and subcultural forms of knowledge production, as well as the innovative forms of scholarship she helped promote through the articulation of interdisciplinary transgender studies.
