Description
This landmark anthology brings together groundbreaking scholarly studies to shed new light on the gay and lesbian past. For the first time, these vital works illuminate the lives of individuals from diverse backgrounds, including South African black miners, American Indians, Chinese courtiers, Japanese samurai, English schoolboys and girls, and urban working women.
By examining gender and sexuality, repression and resistance, deviance and acceptance, identity and community across various cultures and time periods, this collection encourages a lively dialogue between different perspectives. The result is a richly revealing work that challenges ignorance and delusion.
With contributions from notable researchers such as John Boswell, Shari Benstock, Carroll Smith-Rosenberg, Jeffrey Weeks, and John D'Emilio, among others, this anthology is highly recommended for history collections and gay studies. Its diverse perspectives make it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the complexities of human identity.
