Random House USA Inc Virtually Normal An Argument about Homosexuality
Book SynopsisNo subject has divided contemporary America more bitterly than homosexuality. Addressing the full range of the debate in this pathbreaking book, Andrew Sullivan, the former editor of The New Republic, restores both reason and humanity to the discussion over how a predominantly heterosexual society should deal with its homosexual citizens.Sympathetically yet relentlessly, Sullivan assesses the prevailing public positions on homosexuality--from prohibitionist to liberationist and from conservative to liberal. In their place, he calls for a politics of homosexuality that would guarantee the rights of gays and lesbians without imposing tolerance. At once deeply personal and impeccably reasoned, written with elegance and wit, Virtually Normal will challenge readers of every persuasion; no book is more likely to transform out sexual politics in the coming decades.

University Press of Kansas No Place Like Home Lessons in Activism from LGBT
Book SynopsisFar from the coastal centers of culture and politics, Kansas stands at the very center of American stereotypes about red states. In the American imagination, it is a place LGBT people leave. No Place Like Home is about why they stay.Trade ReviewA compelling, complex narrative of the interlocking lives and efforts of a small group of activists working for the seemingly impossible goal of a queer-friendly Kansas." - Kansas History"The narrative [Janovy] pens is one of bravery and resilience in the face of very long odds, and eventually, one of triumph. She documents the transformation of a state that supported a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, to one where gay pride events take place in notably conservative towns like Salina and Wichita. . . the story she tells has lessons in it for anyone trying to work towards social change." - Stanford Social Innovation Review"This exquisitely written book captures the experiences and emotions of everyday activists and shows how politics informs personal lives. This work reveals how losses regarding pro-LGBT policies and protections ‘in the long game, often built to victories.’ A riveting, insightful love letter to Kansas’s unsung LGBT heroes.

Lexington Books Health Care Disparities and the LGBT Population
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis collection particularly underscores the importance of two major health policy issues—gaps in access to insurance coverage for LGBT people and discrimination against transgender people in the health system—that health professionals and those working for LGBT equality alike need to take up in earnest, especially in the era of the opportunities for change offered by the Affordable Care Act. The book explicitly frames its engagement with LGBT health issues through the framework of the unprecedented progress in public policy that has been achieved over the last five years. It demonstrates how research and policy can go hand in hand to define opportunities for change, and it will help readers from all backgrounds craft real solutions that work for LGBTQ people, our families, and our communities. -- Kellan Baker, Center for American ProgressThe editors’ coverage of topics related to health disparities for sexual minority men and women is impressive. This comprehensive volume will be an essential resource for researchers and policy-makers, as well as health care providers and consumers, who are interested in understanding and ultimately reducing health disparities for the LGBT community. -- Robin Lewis, Old Dominion UniversityTable of ContentsForeword Gary L.

Rlpg/Galleys Chinese Lesbian Cinema
Book SynopsisThe emergence of lesbian film in the first decade of the twenty-first century symbolizes a breakthrough through the creation of new cinema that opens up a space that was not previously available or accessible in China. These motion pictures present a new breed of charactersnamely, lesbiansas well as a new sexual subject on the screen for the first time in the history of Chinese cinema. Blending historicist and comparative approaches, this book begins with a critical genealogy of Chinese homosexual traditions in the first two chapters. This strategy allows the author to examine a number of films individually through contextualizing their historical and cultural articulations and interpretations through the remainder of the book.Trade ReviewThe term ‘groundbreaking’ is not strong enough to adequately characterize the insightful contents of Chinese Lesbian Cinema. Utilizing a variety of critical approaches, Liang Shi identifies and explores an important subgenre of underground films that have to date been virtually ignored by media scholars. This book offers incisive analyses of little-seen lesbian-themed films from mainland China, informed by interview responses from their (perhaps unexpectedly) heterosexual, non-activist makers who have little hope of ever reaping profits from their creations. The end result is a must-read text that effectively challenges typical conceptions of lesbian filmmaking as it is characterized in contemporary global discourse. -- Kylo-Patrick R. Hart, Texas Christian UniversityTable of ContentsChapter 1: Mirror Rubbing: A Critical Genealogy of Pre-Modern Chinese Female Same-Sex Eroticism Chapter 2: From Mirror Rubbing to Lesbianism: A Critical Genealogy of Modern Chinese Female Same-Sex Eroticism Chapter 3: Prototypes of Lesbian Relations Chapter 4: Discovering and Normalizing Lesbians: Fish and Elephant Chapter 5: Sacrifice of Innocence: Redefining Sexuality in Zhu Yiye’s Film Lost in You Chapter 6: Lost and Found: Fluidity of Sexuality in Love Mime Chapter 7: Love in a Forgotten Corner: Female Same-Sex Desire in Rural China

New York University Press The Geography of Perversion MaletoMale Sexual Behavior Outside the West and the Ethnographic Imagination 17501918
Book SynopsisRecent years have seen enormous attention devoted to the history of sexuality in the Western world. But how has the West conceived of non-western societies been influenced by these other traditions? The Geography of Perversion and Desire is the first historical study to demonstrate convincingly that the representation cultural otherness, as found in European thought from the Enlightenment through modern times, is closely interrelated with modern constructions of homosexual identity. Travel reports and early ethnographic accounts of cross-gender roles in the Americas, Africa, and Asia corroborated the 18th century construction of the sodomite identity. Similarly, the late 19th-century construction of the third sex provoked much anthropological speculation on to genetic versus societal nature of male-to-male sexual relations, a precursor of current essentialist versus constructionist debates. An invaluable contribution to the ongoing debates on cultural and sexual otherness, this volumeTrade Review"Brave and fascinating, as well as important ... A scholarly and comprehensive contribution to our growing knowledge of the history of homosexuality." -Jeffrey Weeks

New York University Press Lesbian Texts and Contexts Radical Revisions 2 Feminist Crosscurrents
Book SynopsisLesbian writers include some of the most innovative and adventurous writers of this century, but only recently have they been given their due attention in terms of critical study. This book is the first anthology to discuss the subject of lesbianism as it relates to the critical interaction among readers, writers, and literary critics. It explores lesbian texts in terms of identification, meaning, and interpretation, and examines the complex entanglements of identity, voice, intersubjectivity, textualities, and sexualities. A wonderful exploration of the varieties of life choices lesbians can and do make. This book once again proves that telling the truth aboutyourself is a revolutionary act. --Rita Mae Brown They will probably drum Karla Jay and Joanne Glasgow out of the academy for this one...A college text that is witty, literate, interesting, and can be read for fun. What's the world coming to? Lesbian Texts and Contexts: dry title, wonderful book. --Barbara Grier, Editor Naiad

New York University Press Queer Theory An Introduction
Book SynopsisThe political and academic appropriation of the term queer over the last several years has marked a shift in the study of sexuality from a focus on supposedly essential categories as gay and lesbian to more fluid or queer notions of sexual identity. Yet queer is a category still in the process of formation. In Queer Theory, Annamarie Jagose provides a clear and concise explanation of queer theory, tracing it as part of an intriguing history of same-sex love over the last century. Blending insights from prominent theorists such as Judith Butler and David Halperin, Jagose argues that queer theory's challenge is to create new ways of thinking, not only about fixed sexual identities such as heterosexual and homosexual, but also about other supposedly essential notions such as sexuality and gender and even man and woman.Trade Review"Annamarie Jagose knows that queer theory did not spring full-blown from the head of any contemporary theorist. It is the outcome of many different influences and sources, including the homophile movement, gay liberation, and lesbian feminism. In pointing to the history of queer theory--a history that all too often is ignored or elided--Jagose performs a valuable service." -Henry Abelove,co-editor of The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader

Vanderbilt University Press Becoming a Visible Man
At least two generations of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people have emerged since Becoming a Visible Man was first published in 2004, but the book remains a beloved resource for trans people and their allies. Since the first edition's publication, author Jamison Green's writings and advocacy among business and governmental organizations around the world have led to major changes in the fields of law, medicine, and social policy, and his (mostly invisible) work has had significant effects on trans people globally. This new edition captures the changes of the last two decades, while also imparting a message of self-acceptance and health. With profoundly personal and eminently practical threads, Green clarifies transgender experience for transgender people and their families, friends, and coworkers. Medical and mental health care providers, educators, business leaders, and advocates seeking information about transgender concerns can all gain from Green's integra
