Book Synopsis
In Paris in 1954, Andre Baudry founded Arcadie, an organization for 'homophiles'. Yet despite its huge importance, Arcadie has largely disappeared from the historical record. This title uncovers Arcadie's pioneering efforts to educate the European public about homosexuality in an era of renewed repression.

Trade Review
"A work of exceptional erudition, originality, and insight. It not only restores the most important French homophile movement to history in all its complexity; it also uses that history to make a powerful revisionist argument for the intelligence, savvy, courage, and, indeed, dignity of the people who founded and guided it. As one of the most important studies of the pre-Stonewall homophile movement we have, Living in Arcadia represents a major new contribution to both gay history and French history." - George Chauncey, author of Gay New York"
