The past quarter century, however, has seen enormous growth in gay and lesbian studies. The literature is now voluminous; it is also widely scattered and not always easily accessible. In Toward Stonewall, Nicholas Edsall provides a much-needed synthesis, drawing upon both scholarly and popular writings to chart the development of homosexual subcultures in the modern era and the uneasy place they have occupied in Western society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdsall's survey begins three hundred years ago in northwestern Europe, when homosexual subcultures recognizably similar to those of our own era began to emerge, and it follows their surprisingly diverse paths through the Enlightenment to the early nineteenth century. The book then turns to the Victorian era, tracing the development of articulate and self-aware homosexual subcultures. With a greater sense of identity and organization came new forms of resistance: this was the age that saw the persecution of Oscar Wilde, among others, as well as the medical establishment's labeling of homosexuality as a sign of degeneracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's final section locates the foundations of present-day gay sub-cultures in a succession of twentieth-century scenes and events--in pre-Nazi Germany, in the lesbian world of interwar Paris, in the law reforms of 1960s England--culminating in the emergence of popular movements in the postwar United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than examining these groups in isolation, the book considers them in their social contexts and as comparable to other subordinate groups and minority movements. In the process, Toward Stonewall illuminates not only the subcultures that are its primary subject but the larger societies from which they emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52653456982383,"sku":"9780813925431","price":251.53,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0813925436.jpg?v=1770727686"},{"product_id":"queer-clout","title":"Queer Clout","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn postwar America, the path to political power for gays and lesbians led through city hall. By the late 1980s, politicians and elected officials, who had originally sought political advantage from raiding gay bars and carting their patrons off to jail, were pursuing gays and lesbians aggressively as a voting bloc--not least by campaigning in those same bars. Gays had acquired power and influence. They had clout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracing the gay movement's trajectory since the 1950s from the closet to the corridors of power, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Queer Clout\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; is the first book to weave together activism and electoral politics, shifting the story from the coastal gay meccas to the nation's great inland metropolis. Timothy Stewart-Winter challenges the traditional division between the homophile and gay liberation movements, and stresses gay people's and African Americans' shared focus on police harassment. He highlights the crucial role of black civil rights activists and political leaders in offering white gays and lesbians not only a model for protest but also an opening to join an emerging liberal coalition in city hall. The book draws on diverse oral histories and archival records spanning half a century, including those of undercover vice and police red squad investigators, previously unexamined interviews by midcentury social scientists studying gay life, and newly available papers of activists, politicians, and city agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the first history of gay politics in the post-Stonewall era grounded in archival research, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Queer Clout\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; sheds new light on the politics of race, religion, and the AIDS crisis, and it shows how big-city politics paved the way for the gay movement's unprecedented successes under the nation's first African American president.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52657136370031,"sku":"9780812224061","price":174.36,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/081222406X.jpg?v=1770808071"},{"product_id":"boys-like-us","title":"Boys Like Us","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Marelously inventive, surprising, joyous, harrowing, and frequently lovely variations performed by master singers on a truly great theme.\"-- Tony Kurshner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52690840781167,"sku":"9780380788354","price":133.35,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0380788357.jpg?v=1771518519"},{"product_id":"the-boys-of-boise","title":"The Boys of Boise","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Written in 1965 about a same-sex sexual scandal that occurred in 1955 in Boise, Idaho, John Gerassi’s classic study depicts both middle America’s traditional response to homosexuality and an era in the country’s history before the modern gay rights movement really got underway.
