Opis

Gender studiesof Spain has thus far focused almost exclusively on women, leaving the social and political history of male homosexuality virtually untouched. "'Los Invisibles'" fillsthis significant gap in the study of Spanish culture by analyzing the effects of medical and legal regulation on male homosexuals. Drawing from the discourse of medical history, Richard Cleminson and Francisco Vazquez Garcia evaluate the impact of psychiatry, education, race, and the growth ofgay subcultures on cultural representations of homosexuality in this pioneering study.A PDF version of this book is available for free in open access via the OAPEN Library platform, www.oapen.org It has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license and is part of the OAPEN-UK research project."
