Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Investigating same-sex relationships and attitudes toward homosexuality throughout history and in various regions of the world, "this ground-breaking anthology suggests that definitions of 'normal' sexuality differ widely from one culture to the next," PW reported.

From Library Journal
". . . Homosexuality is not merely a personal characteristic to be alternately ignored or celebrated, as some historians have assumed, but a significant influence on the lives of individuals and on patterns of cultural organizations in ways historians need to acknowledge." This anthology redresses this influence in 30 essays of the last decade by prominent gay historians. Previously published pieces have been revised, and ten completely new essays were commissioned. The juxtaposition of diverse perspectives and research crossing boundaries of race, gender, culture, and time encourages a lively dialogue. Highly recommended for history collections, and especially gay studies.

READ THIS!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hidden from History: Reclaiming the Gay and Lesbian Past (Meridian) (Paperback)
This book is chockful of great monographs on gay and lesbian history. After a world-shaking introduction by all three editors, the book offers monographs from many periods in history. And not only is Western history profiled--there is also Asian gay history, and other non-European monographs as well. Everything is scholarly, and well-documented, and some of the information that you read in here is incredibly surprising! I am glad that a book like this finally exists, and, as a historian myself, know from this book that history is changing for the better by including the gay population and other minorities.
