<p>"Queer Democracy stages a desperately needed intervention into Western political theory, which is going to have to get smarter about race, sex, gender, and religion if it hopes to offer a vision of justice in the midst of raging nationalisms. Exacting and inviting, rigorous yet clear, this is Daniel Miller at his best."</p><p><strong>Mary-Jane Rubenstein, </strong><em>Professor of Religion, Core faculty in the Science and Society Program, Affiliated faculty in the Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, Wesleyan University</em></p><p>"With so much theoretical sophistication, <i>Queer Democracy</i> responds to an enduring and urgent question: what differences does a democracy’s social body make for individual bodies who live in it? <i>Queer Democracy</i>’s response is smart and trans-formational. If you are a body living in a democracy, this response affects you. And after reading <i>Queer Democracy</i>, its response could become yours."</p><p><strong>William Robert, </strong><em>Director of LGBTQ Studies, Associate Professor of Religion, Syracuse University</em></p><p>"Social and political theorists have long understood "the body politic" as a crucial metaphor, yet few have taken the metaphor as seriously as Daniel Miller does here, in an impressive work that runs from the Stoics to contemporary Christian nationalists. If social bodies are like actual bodies – marked not by their fixity, but by their ever-shifting morphology – then the social body is a queer body, and democracy is <i>queer democracy</i>."</p><p><strong>Samuel A. Chambers, </strong><em>Professor of Political Theory and Political Economy, Dept. of Political Science, Johns Hopkins University</em></p><p>"Miller’s <i>Queer Democracy</i> is compelling for how it bridges the divide between trans and queer theory with political theory. However, it will be of great appeal to non-specialists because of how Miller connects the metaphor of the body-political to contemporary iterations of populism and nationalism. There is no greater contemporary concern for American democracy than White Christian nationalism and its variants. And Miller is one of the few scholars able to capture the various elements of this political moment in a coherent theoretical frame. Miller’s analytical acumen enables him to reveal the ideological underpinnings of the religious and nationalistic forces at the center of American politics. This work is thus important for scholars working at the overlap of queer theory and political theory, but also any reader interested in understanding the passions, affects, and identities shaping the American public square today."</p><p><strong>Bradley Onishi, </strong><em>Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies, Skidmore College</em></p>
