ISBN: 9780226289960 / Angielski / Miękka / 379 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Marching on Washington is a hallowed tradition of American political protest, and demonstrations led by the women s rights, civil rights, and antiwar movements all endure in popular memory. Between 1979 and 2000 four major lesbian and gay demonstrations took place there, and while these marches were some of the largest of their time, they have been sorely overlooked until now. Drawing on extensive archival research, historical data, original photographs, interviews with key activists, and more than a thousand news articles, "The Dividends of Dissent" offers a thorough analysis descriptive,...

The Construction of Homosexuality
ISBN: 9780226306285 / Angielski / Miękka / 645 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "At various times, homosexuality has been considered the noblest of loves, a horrible sin, a psychological condition or grounds for torture and execution. David F. Greenberg's careful, encyclopedic and important new book argues that homosexuality is only deviant because society has constructed, or defined, it as deviant. The book takes us over vast terrains of example and detail in the history of homosexuality." Nicholas B. Dirks, "New York Times Book Review""

Beyond Carnival: Male Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century Brazil
ISBN: 9780226306391 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For many foreign observers, Brazil still conjures up a collage of exotic images, ranging from the camp antics of Carmen Miranda to the bronzed girl (or boy) from Ipanema moving sensually over the white sands of Rio's beaches. Among these tropical fantasies is that of the uninhibited and licentious Brazilian homosexual, who expresses uncontrolled sexuality during wild Carnival festivities and is welcomed by a society that accepts fluid sexual identity. However, in Beyond Carnival, the first sweeping cultural history of male homosexuality in Brazil, James Green shatters these exotic...

Gay Shame
ISBN: 9780226314389 / Angielski / Miękka / 395 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ever since the 1969 Stonewall Riots, "gay pride" has been the rallying cry of the gay rights movement and the political force behind the emergence of the field of lesbian and gay studies. But has something been lost, forgotten, or buried beneath the drive to transform homosexuality from a perversion to a proud social identity? Have the political requirements of gay pride repressed discussion of the more uncomfortable or undignified aspects of homosexuality?
Gay Shame seeks to lift this unofficial ban on the investigation of homosexuality and shame by presenting critical work from... Ever since the 1969 Stonewall Riots, "gay pride" has been the rallying cry of the gay rights movement and the political force behind the emergence of ...

How to Do the History of Homosexuality
ISBN: 9780226314471 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. David M. Halperin is one of the most eminent thinkers in the world of gay and critical studies. In this new work, he revisits and refines the argument he set forth in One Hundred Years of Homosexuality: the idea that both hetero- and homosexuality are not biologically determined but, instead, socially constructed. How to Do the History of Homosexuality builds on this seminal argument, answers its critics and makes greater allowances for continuities in the history of sexuality. Above all, Halperin offers a vigorous defence of the historicist approach, one that sets a premium on the...

Faeries, Bears, and Leathermen: Men in Community Queering the Masculine
ISBN: 9780226327280 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over time, male homosexuality and effeminacy have become indelibly associated, sometimes even synonymous. In "Faeries, Bears, and Leathermen," Peter Hennen contends that this stigma of effeminacy exerts a powerful influence on gay subcultures. Through a comparative ethnographic analysis of three communities, Hennen explores the surprising ways that conventional masculinity is being collectively challenged, subverted, or perpetuated in contemporary gay male culture.
Hennen s colorful study focuses on a trio of groups: the Radical Faeries, who parody effeminacy by playfully embracing it,... Over time, male homosexuality and effeminacy have become indelibly associated, sometimes even synonymous. In "Faeries, Bears, and Leathermen," Peter H...

Queer London: Perils and Pleasures in the Sexual Metropolis, 1918-1957
ISBN: 9780226354620 / Angielski / Miękka / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In August 1934, young Cyril L. wrote to his friend Billy about all the exciting men he had met, the swinging nightclubs he had visited, and the vibrant new life he had forged for himself in the big city. He wrote, "I have only been queer since I came to London about two years ago, before then I knew nothing about it." London, for Cyril, meant boundless opportunities to explore his newfound sexuality. But his freedom was limite: he was soon arrested, simply for being in a club frequented by queer men.

Men Like That: A Southern Queer History
ISBN: 9780226354705 / Angielski / Miękka / 395 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We don't usually associate thriving queer culture with rural America, but John Howard's unparalleled history of queer life in the South persuasively debunks the myth that same-sex desires can't find expression outside the big city. In fact, this book shows that the nominally conservative institutions of small-town life--home, church, school, and workplace--were the very sites where queer sexuality flourished. As Howard recounts the life stories of the ordinary and the famous, often in their own words, he also locates the material traces of queer sexuality in the landscape: from the farmhouse...

Blessing Same-Sex Unions: The Perils of Queer Romance and the Confusions of Christian Marriage
ISBN: 9780226410333 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At most church weddings, the person presiding over the ritual is not a priest or a pastor, but the wedding planner, followed by the photographer, the florist, and the caterer. And in this day and age, more wedding theology is supplied by "Modern Bride" magazine or reality television than by any of the Christian treatises on holy matrimony. Indeed, church weddings have strayed long and far from distinctly Christian aspirations. The costumes and gestures might still be right, but the intentions are hardly religious.
Why then, asks noted gay commentator Mark D. Jordan, are so many churches... At most church weddings, the person presiding over the ritual is not a priest or a pastor, but the wedding planner, followed by the photographer, the ...

ISBN: 9780226426167 / Angielski / Miękka / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In "Love Stories," Jonathan Ned Katz presents stories of men's intimacies with men during the nineteenth century including those of Abraham Lincoln drawing flesh-and-blood portraits of intimate friendships and the ways in which men struggled to name, define, and defend their sexual feelings for one another. In a world before "gay" and "straight" referred to sexuality, men like Walt Whitman and John Addington Symonds created new ways to name and conceive of their erotic relationships with other men. Katz, diving into history through diaries, letters, newspapers, and poems, offers us a clearer...

Contacts Desired: Gay and Lesbian Communications and Community, 1940s-1970s
ISBN: 9780226517346 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whether one thinks homosexuals are born or made, they generally are not born into gay families, nor are they socialized to be gay by their peers or schools. How then do people become aware of homosexuality and, in some cases, integrate into gay communities? The making of homosexual identity is the result of a communicative process that entails searching, listening, looking, reading, and finding. "Contacts Desired" proposes that this communicative process has a history, and it sets out to tell that story.

Departing from Deviance: A History of Homosexual Rights and Emancipatory Science in America
ISBN: 9780226530444 / Angielski / Miękka / 355 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The struggle to remove the stigma of sickness surrounding same-sex love has a long history. In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its diagnostic classification of mental illness, but the groundwork for this pivotal decision was laid decades earlier. In this new study, Henry L. Minton looks back at the struggle of the American gay and lesbian activists who chose scientific research as a path for advancing homosexual rights. He traces the history of gay and lesbian emancipatory research from its early beginnings in the late nineteenth century to its role in...

God, Sex, and Politics: Homosexuality and Everyday Theologies
ISBN: 9780226535128 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "God, Sex, and Politics" examines both sides of the church controversy over homosexuality to consider the ways in which people develop, in everyday thought and interaction, their beliefs about God and justice. Dawne Moon explores how members of Protestant congregations determine what is just and what is not, what is right and what is wrong, what is loving and what is sinful.
Through this compelling work we learn that the considerable turmoil surrounding homosexuality in churches has less to do with homosexuality than with the fear of weakening the church's spiritual, communal solidarity....

ISBN: 9780226682570 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mema's house is in the poor barrio Nezahualcoyotl, a crowded urban space on the outskirts of Mexico City where people survive with the help of family, neighbors, and friends. This house is a sanctuary for a group of young, homosexual men who meet to do what they can't do openly at home. They chat, flirt, listen to music, and smoke marijuana. Among the group are sex workers and transvestites with high heels, short skirts, heavy make-up, and voluminous hairstyles; and their partners, young, bisexual men, wearing T-shirts and worn jeans, short hair, and maybe a mustache.

Sodomy in Reformation Germany and Switzerland, 1400-1600
ISBN: 9780226685052 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 14th century, a considerable number of men in Germany and Switzerland were executed for committing sodomy. In the 17th century, simply speaking of the act was cause for censorship. Here, in the first ever history of sodomy in these countries, Helmut Puff argues that accusations of sodomy in this era were actually crucial to the success of the Protestant Reformation. German associated sodomy with Italy and, increasingly, the Catholic Church. As the Reformation gained momentum, the formerly unspeakable crime of sodomy gained a voice, as Martin Luther and others deployed accusations of...
