Taylor & Francis Ltd Queer Trades Sex and Society
Book SynopsisThis book is the first scholarly work to explore male homosexual prostitution in interwar Scotland. The male prostitute occupies a contested position within interwar society depending on the perspective he was representative of a descent into turpitude, of tenacious organised criminality or of exploitation. The book explores connections between male prostitution and criminal gangs prevalent during the interwar period, by detailing the emergence and activities of Glasgow's notorious Whitehats', a gang composed of a number of queer male prostitutes and led by William Paton. This book discovers that although Paton's activities were representative of a career criminal, the young men who joined the Whitehats' were often driven by poverty and social isolation. This book explores the experiences of Edinburgh police detective William Merrilees and his war on homosexuality in Edinburgh during the 1930s through examining the tactics used to regulate homosexual trade and the implications thisTable of ContentsList of figuresList of tablesAcknowledgementsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Consent
Book SynopsisConsent: Legacies, Representations, and Frameworks for the Future examines the conceptualisation of consent' across various historical periods, cultures, and disciplines to offer an expansive, pluralistic vision for future articulations of consent as it circulates throughout contemporary life in sexual encounters, medical contexts, and media representations.This volume is distinctive in its diverse conceptual scope and commitment to cross-disciplinary dialogue, accommodating perspectives on consent that are contextually sensitive and culturally diverse. The chapters examine a range of topics, from socio-cultural engagements with consent in Latin American music, feminist movements in Pakistan, and BDSM in Poland, to theoretical and pedagogical ones exploring alternative possibilities for framing and understanding consent through intersectional approaches and institutional curricula.Consent: Legacies, Representations, and Frameworks for the Future is of valTable of ContentsTable of Contents; List of Contributors; Acknowledgements; 1.

Cambridge University Press Sex Before the Sexual Revolution
Book SynopsisBased on vivid and compelling oral testimony from a diverse range of people, this book provides the first rounded account of sexuality in marriage in early and mid twentieth-century England. The authors look beyond the conventions of silence among the respectable majority to challenge stereotypes of ignorance and inhibition.Trade Review'A warm and enjoyable read, at times heartbreaking and at others erotic, its appeal goes beyond its value as an academic text. It is an impressive venture that captures what otherwise might have remained a forgotten part of our sexual history.' Petra Boynton, The Times Higher Education Supplement'I can scarcely recall reading a book which gives a richer, more comprehensive - and ultimately, more deeply moving - account of the human experience.' Simon Callow, The Guardian, in which Sex Before the Sexual Revolution was selected as 'Book of the Week''A brilliant new book … based on the intimate experiences of people from the middle and working classes whose adolescence, marriage and childrearing took place during and after the period between the two world wars … provides a glimpse into an era when sex was not spoken about.' The Daily Express'A peek through the curtains of the pre-Sixties bedroom, this convincing and gripping social history provides undeniable evidence that sex did not start in the Sixties.' Oliver James'… an exciting, pioneering study … Szreter and Fisher advance a refreshingly candid account of English sex, love, and marriage and present the fascinating oral history material to its best advantage. In short, this is an excellent book which deserves to attract a very large readership.' Angus McLaren, Emeritus Professor, University of Victoria'A surprising number of people think that Philip Larkin was right and the British didn't discover sex until the 1960s … This book goes further than any other in breaking the silence and presenting middle and working class people who married between the 1930s and 1950s talking frankly about their sexual experience, revealing that sexual intercourse really did happen before 1963 - and some people even enjoyed it.' Pat Thane, Director, Centre for Contemporary British History, Institute of Historical Research'A work of deeply engaging and distinguished scholarship, based on fascinating interviews and other primary data, which bring the last century to life in a vivid and often touching manner. In doing so, the authors shatter many myths about intimate life during previous generations and provide the context for the development of modern British sexuality … a major contribution to social history and to the history of sexology. This book should be required reading for all serious students and researchers.' Brett Kahr, Honorary Visiting Professor, Roehampton University, and author of Sex and the Psyche'An accessibly written yet theoretically nuanced analysis of oral histories from the generation that came of age before the sexual revolution … Drawing on the touching, sometimes funny, and occasionally sad oral histories of working and middle class men and women, Sex Before the Sexual Revolution reveals an untold story about how, for some married couples, silence, inhibition, and a shared commitment to privacy were core elements of the erotic, and love was demonstrated both through sexual intimacy and, at times, by deliberate abstinence.' Jennifer Hirsch, Associate Professor of Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University'Sex Before the Sexual Revolution provides the first rounded, firsthand account of sexuality in marriage in the years 1918–1963. The authors, two distinguished, award-winning academics, studied the testimonies of 89 men and women from all backgrounds. None of them was used to discussing intimate matters - after all, in their day people didn't. Yet the researchers managed to get even the shyest interviewees talking in the end - with truly fascinating results.' Bel Mooney, Daily Mail'This is a fine book, crammed with engaging empirical detail, and providing rich insights into the English marital bedroom in the decades between the First World War and the so-called 'sexual revolution' of the 1960s … Historians of sexuality, gender and demography will pay gratitude to Szreter and Fisher for providing us with this culmination of many years of important work.' Social History of Medicine'Szreter and Fisher skilfully reconstruct a moral universe of sexual knowledge and quotidian experience in which ideals of naturalness, spontaneity, respect and trust framed the intimate lives of at least two generations of English men and women.'

By following the stories of a number of mixed-race families, at all levels of the social scale, Durba Ghosh offers a fascinating account of how gender, class and race affected the cultural and social mores of the period.Trade Review'Ghosh's book will be immensely valuable to scholars of gender, race, and empire …' Journal of Asian Studies'… Sex and the Family makes an important contribution to the investigation of racial and gender relations in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century India by reminding us of the anxiety Englishmen felt and by recovering some of the Indian women's voices.'

Cambridge University Press Sexuality in Europe A TwentiethCentury History 45 New Approaches to European History Series Number 45
Book SynopsisThis original book brings a fascinating and accessible account of the tumultuous history of sexuality in Europe from the waning of Victorianism to the collapse of Communism and the rise of European Islam. Although the twentieth century is often called 'the century of sex' and seen as an era of increasing liberalization, Dagmar Herzog instead emphasizes the complexities and contradictions in sexual desires and behaviours, the ambivalences surrounding sexual freedom, and the difficulties encountered in securing sexual rights. Incorporating the most recent scholarship on a broad range of conceptual problems and national contexts, the book investigates the shifting fortunes of marriage and prostitution, contraception and abortion, queer and straight existence. It analyzes sexual violence in war and peace, the promotion of sexual satisfaction in fascist and democratic societies, the role of eugenics and disability, the politicization and commercialization of sex, and processes of secularizaTrade Review'Everything you always wanted to know about the 'century of sex' - here it is, beautifully written, admirably strong in its analysis, compelling in its plea for different narratives that add ambivalences, conflicts and shadow lines to what at first sight appears as a clear-cut story of liberalisation.' Ute Fervet, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin'A masterly synthesis of sexuality's most extreme century. This virtuoso account always links sex to politics, but its real merit is to give emotions, bodies, and pleasures a history.' Philipp Sarasin, Professor of Modern History, University of Zurich'There is not [a] better comparativist than Herzog to illuminate the unexpected twists and turns of this composite history - a landmark in European synthesis and a must-read for all historians of sexuality.' Nancy F. Cott, Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History, Harvard University'Herzog develops a sweeping analysis of the central role of sexual practices, cultures, politics, and violence in a century of war, mass mobilization, and wrenching social conflict and change.'
