Abstract
In the conclusion, Greteman brings the exploration of queer thriving to a close. As theoretical attention to queerness embedded itself in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and LGBTQ lives enter the mainstream in various productively problematic ways, the conclusion illustrates how the book set out to explore the ways in which queers, upon surviving, can thrive in the midst of the changing economic, intellectual, sexual, and school terrains. It asked, in sometimes explicit and at other times implicit ways, what would it mean to articulate queer thriving as part of sustaining the critical work of queers and their theories? Can queerness, as an educated mode, do more than expose its enemies but build its own cultural wealth for future generations to benefit and transform?
