REVIEWS

Review of Volume 10:
Recently I reviewed volume 9 and noted that its highlights were the quality of the writing and the breadth of topics covered. This edition enjoys similar strengths.

Where the preceding edition contained more practical articles, the papers collected here are more theoretical and couched in academic discourse. For example Kendall’s piece on the Canadian Supreme Court’s consideration of gay pornography is profoundly enlightening. … In providing a breakdown of the decision and in his dissection of the submissions of the parties, he has provided an instructive overview of identity, politics and constructions of masculinity within the queer world and addressed how law deals with such issues.

The construction of identity is also addressed by Sharpe, this time through the rubric of transgenderism and gender dysphoria. Sharpe uses this issue to demonstrate that when the law comes to reform an area which tangentially touches on an area which may have implications for the gay and lesbian communities, it fails to achieve all it might because of “homosexual anxiety”. …

The journal continues to expand the range of issues it covers … it remains a vital forum for other voice jurisprudence, nationally and globally.

Review of Volume 9:
The immediate importance [of this journal] to the queer community is shown in a review of the articles in this volume [9]. Prime amongst them is the debate between David Marr, and Chris Puplick over the efficacy and appropriateness of anti-vilification legislation. Marr, a long-time opponent of censorship and government regulation of speech, gives a passionate series of arguments against the curtailment of speech while Puplick defends the legislation. The papers are of an exceptional standard in their form and accessibility to the lay reader. … It is fascinating and challenging reading.

The Journal also acts as a source of important information on legal developments for the practitioner. Jenni Millbank’s piece [on new NSW legislation] will be useful to any solicitor in negotiating same sex property arrangements. Gerber’s and Walker’s pieces on the South African Constitution and gay identity in international human rights provide a useful global counterpoint to domestic issues.
