Title: Hidden From History - Reclaiming the Gay & Lesbian Past Author: Martin Duberman (editor) Published by: Meridian, 1989 ISBN: 0-452-01067-5 [Trade paperback, 575 pages]
This revealing anthology brings together for the first time the vital new scholarly studies not lifting the veil from the gay and lesbian past. Such notable researchers as John Boswell, Shari Benstock, Caroll Smith-Rosenberg, Jeffrey Weeks and John D'Emilio illuminate gay and lesbian life as it evolved in places as diverse as the Athens of Plato, Renaissance Italy, Victorian London, Jazz Age Harlem, Revolutionary Russia, Nazi Germany, castro's Cuba, post-World War II San Francisco - and peoples as varied as South African black miners, American Indians, Chinese courtiers, Japanese samurai, English schoolboys and girls, and urban working women. Gender and sexuality, repression and resistance, deviance and acceptance, identity and community - all are given a context in this fascinating book.
