Closet Space: Geographies of Metaphor from the Body to the Globe

Is closet just a metaphor? Closet Space provides a highly original account of spatial metaphor of the closet, and is first geography text to focus on this important issue. Using a variety of research techniques and materials, book explores closet through texts including: * oral histories of gay men in UK and US * sexualised landscape of a New Zealand city * national census of Britain and US * international travel guides and travelogues and refers to work of Butler, Lefebvre and Foucault.
