Abstract

A landmark work of lesbian literature, Lover was first published in 1972 by the now-defunct feminist press, Daughters, to tremendous critical acclaim. Emerging out of the women's and gay liberation movement alongside the early work of such writers as Rita Mae Brown and Jill Johnston, the novel features fictional and historical characters who run the gamut from saint to poor white trash, and who are by turn vulnerable and strong. One of the finest examples of early post-Stonewall lesbian fiction, Lover is poised to entice a new generation of readers. In this new edition, Harris reintroduces her work, providing engaging background on the cultural and personal milieu in which it was produced and painting a scathing and witty picture of the book's original publisher. Revealing the real-life personalities behind some of the novel's characters, the introduction is an amusing retrospective sure to entertain those who remember the heady post-Stonewall days, and to enlighten younger readers.

Abstract

Many of us have grown up with the language of civil rights, yet rarely consider how the construction of civil rights claims affects those who are trying to attain them. Diane Miller examines arguments lesbians and gay men make for civil rights, revealing the ways these arguments are both progressive--in terms of helping to win court cases seeking basic human rights--and limiting--in terms of framing representations of gay men and lesbians. Miller incorporates case studies of lesbians in the military and in politics into her argument. She discusses in detail the experiences of Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer, who was dishonorably discharged from the National Guard after 27 years of service when she revealed that she was a lesbian, and Roberta Achtenberg, who was nominated by Clinton for the job of Assistant Director of Housing and Urban Development and became the first gay or lesbian to face the confirmation process. Drawing on these cases and their outcomes, Miller evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of privileging civil rights strategies in the struggle for gay and lesbian rights.

Abstract

The subject of bisexuality continues to divide the lesbian and gay community. At pride marches, in films such as Go Fish, at academic conferences, the role and status of bisexuals is hotly contested. Within lesbian communities, formed to support lesbians in a patriarchal and heterosexist society, bisexual women are often perceived as a threat or as a political weakness. Bisexual women feel that they are regarded with suspicion and distrust, if not openly scorned. Drawing on her research with over 400 bisexual and lesbian women, surveying the treatment of bisexuality in the lesbian and gay press, and examining the recent growth of a self-consciously political bisexual movement, Paula Rust addresses a range of questions pertaining to the political and social relationships between lesbians and bisexual women. By tracing the roots of the controversy over bisexuality among lesbians back to the early lesbian feminist debates of the 1970s, Rust argues that those debates created the circumstances in which bisexuality became an inevitable challenge to lesbian politics. She also traces it forward, predicting the future of sexual politics.

Abstract

Human rights in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity are at last reaching the heart of global debates. Yet 78 states worldwide continue to criminalise same-sex sexual behaviour, and due to the legal legacies of the British Empire, 42 of these – more than half – are in the Commonwealth of Nations. In recent years many states have seen the emergence of new sexual nationalisms, leading to increased enforcement of colonial sodomy laws against men, new criminalisations of sex between women and discrimination against transgender people.

Abstract

Wie lebten homosexuelle, bi-, trans- und intersexuelle Menschen in der NS-Zeit? Welchen Verfolgungsmaßnahmen waren sie ausgesetzt? Diese und andere Fragen beantwortet der vorliegende Sammelband, für den das Institut für Zeitgeschichte München-Berlin und die Bundesstiftung Magnus Hirschfeld verantwortlich zeichnen. Dabei stehen nicht nur Polizei und Justiz im Fokus, sondern auch die politisch-administrative und die gesellschaftliche Repression. Überdies zeigen die Autorinnen und Autoren die ganze Vielfalt von Lebenssituationen auf - von Isolation über Tolerierung bis zur Unterstützung des Regimes. Neben der vergleichsweise gut erforschten Geschichte homosexueller Frauen und Männer geht es dabei auch um die bisher wenig beachteten Gruppen bi-, trans- und intersexueller Menschen - ein Ansatz, der Licht in ein kaum bekanntes Kapitel der Gesellschaftsgeschichte des Dritten Reichs bringt.

Abstract

Knowing Women is a study of same-sex desire in West Africa, which explores the lives and friendships of working-class women in southern Ghana who are intimately involved with each other. Based on in-depth research of the life histories of women in the region, Serena O. Dankwa highlights the vibrancy of everyday same-sex intimacies that have not been captured in a globally pervasive language of sexual identity. Paying close attention to the women's practices of self-reference, Dankwa refers to them as 'knowing women' in a way that both distinguishes them from, and relates them to categories such as lesbian or supi, a Ghanaian term for female friend. In doing so, this study is not only a significant contribution to the field of global queer studies in which both women and Africa have been underrepresented, but a starting point to further theorize the relation between gender, kinship, and sexuality that is key to queer, feminist, and postcolonial theories. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Abstract

Homoseksualiteit en migratie: de combinatie van deze thema's wekt veel interesse en is een heet hangijzer in politiek, samenleving en wetenschap. Toch bestaat hierover weinig onderzoek in Europa.Dit boek wenst een bijdrage te leveren aan een groeiende interesse naar de beleving van homoseksualiteit bij etnische minderheden met nadruk op seksuele migratie. In het eerste deel van het boek gaat Wim Peumans in een etnografische studie na waarom de geïnterviewde homoseksuele en lesbische migranten uit hun land van herkomst naar België kwamen en welke rol hun seksualiteit in de migratiebeslissing speelde. Daarnaast bekijkt hij wat de invloed van migratie was op hun seksualiteitsbeleving en de manieren waarop ze omgingen met hun gestigmatiseerde identiteit in het land van aankomst. Aan de hand van alle verhalen krijgt de lezer zo een beter inzicht in de levens van homoseksuele en lesbische migranten. In het tweede deel van het boek reageren binnen- en buitenlandse academici en holebi-activisten op het onderzoek. Onderwerpen zijn onder meer een kritisch overzicht van de studie naar islam en homoseksualiteit, de situatie van tweede generatie homo's en lesbiennes in Nederland, en de behandeling van homoseksualiteit in Belgisch en Europees vreemdelingenrecht en in de asielprocedure
