Negotiating Sexual Identities - Lesbian, Gay, and Queer Perspectives on Being Mennonite

As one of the first studies of its kind, this book brings together the personal alongside complex theoretical concepts to explore Mennonite LGBTQ identities. Applying performativity, Dueck re-examines the meaning of identity in this ethno-religious community as well as the way in which sexuality is talked about in churches and institutions; she examines how lesbian, gay, and queer persons negotiate with these heternormative discourses to be Mennonite. This is an important book for Mennonite scholars and those concerned with queer identifications.
