Book Synopsis
In this work David Halperin revisits and re-examines the argument he set forth in One hundred years of homosexuality: the idea that both hetero- and homo- sexuality are not biologically determined but, instead, socially constructed.

Trade Review
"In this subtle and provocative work, David M. Halperin carries his justly renowned scholarship about sexuality several steps further, articulating a view that balances a just appreciation of discontinuities with the recognition of connections across time and place. Refusing reductive characterizations, the sophisticated arguments in How to Do the History of Homosexuality emphasize heterogeneity and tension in the ancient world and our own, and the possibility of creative identification with the past." - Martha Nussbaum
