Abstract "Queer Lasting asks what contemporary environmentalism's seemingly necessary emphasis on the future has rendered unthinkable, and looks to the literatures from two periods of queer extinction (the 1890s and the 1980s) for grammars of care, continuance, and collective action that emerge only "at the last.""-- Provided by publisher.
