This book is composed of historical anecdotes that highlight the messy notions of identity centering around same sex love in modern America. This is not a text to consult if you are looking for any sort of thorough historical analysis or theoretical discussion. There is minor elaboration about theoretical arguments relevant to the events and people discussed, but they are more of a frame than a focus as none of the questions posed are discussed at any great length. If a reader is searching for a series of anecdotes about same-sex love in nineteenth and twentieth century America, this serves as a good introductory text for the history student or someone new to the field of queer studies.

With this book, Leila J. Rupp accomplishes what few scholars have even attempted: she combines a vast array of scholarship on supposedly discrete episodes in American history into an entertaining and entirely readable story of same-sex desire across the country and the centuries. "Most extraordinary about Leila J. Rupp's indeed short, two-hundred-page history of 'same-sex love and sexuality' is not that it manages to account for such a variety of individuals, races, and classes or take in such a broad chronological and thematic range, but rather that it does all this with such verve, lucidity, and analytical rigor. . . . [A]n elegant, inspiring survey." —John Howard, Journal of American History No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
