Reviews
"Un/Popular Culture presents lesbian writing and theory in its form as art practice and art activism. This means that academic texts don't occupy the center of the stage, though they are resources and occasions for lesbian writing; rather several mixed genres in experimental movement are centered, representing varied typographies of lesbian politics and meaning. Martindale's work is historically imaginative, crafting a narrative intertwining sex radicalism, avant-garde art, feminist activism, and the meaning of this moment called 'post-modern.' Those already familiar with these materials will be moved to new engagement with this lesbian work, introduced to it and newly convinced of its pleasures and importance. "Martindale's book is strikingly engaging and useable. I found myself constantly talking back to it and talking about it. Chapter by chapter I told my friends about it, wrung out its issues, tried its arguments out as I spoke with colleagues. Each class I teach seemed to reach out for pieces of it: I wanted to put it in the hands of all my students, graduate and undergraduate." -- Katie King, University of Maryland, College Park "...[Martindale's] book stimulates dialogue about an area of popular culture studies that deserves more critical attention. Un/popular Culture not only contributes to the scholarly discourse on lesbian culture but also participates in the ongoing process of theorizing lesbianism." -- H-Net Reviews (H-PCAACA) "I like the range and scope of the material covered. The emphasis on/or attention to popular material, and the popular/unpopular binary that Martindale works here, prove to be fertile and interesting material. She offers a broad sweep, ranging from high theory to comics and zines. The chapters are very well written and persuasively argued. Her interests in the 'undertheorized' and lesbian writing practices are particularly engaging. Her work amounts to a compendium of contemporary lesbian writings in a range of genres, an excellent jumping off point for further reading. No one has yet engaged this subject with such insight, range and care." -- Elizabeth A. Meese, University of Alabama
