Gay Life & Culture: A World History

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

"Gay Life and Culture" is the first-ever comprehensive, global account of gay history.

It is spectacularly illustrated throughout and includes an extensive selection of images, many of them only recently recovered.

From Theocritus verses to Queer as Folk, from the berdaches of North America to the boywives of Aboriginal Australia, this extraordinarily wide-ranging book illustrates both the commonality of love and lust, and the various ways in which such desires have been constructed through the ages.
