Review
AIDS has been the overriding concern of the gay community for almost a decade now, but the past few years have also been a time when psychological, sociological, and anthropological studies of all aspects of lesbian and gay life have flourished. This book is probably the most eclectic and wide-ranging exploration of these studies available anywhere. Defining "family relations" in the broadest possible sense, the book's fifteen articles cover an unprecedentedly broad spectrum of the gay and lesbian expenence, from childhood to parenting to intimate relations to AIDS. Lesbians in heterosexual marriages, homosexuality in ethnic subcultures and the effects of aging on lesbians and gay men are just a few of the rarely addressed topics the book covers in some depth. Each chapter ends with a bibliography that includes unpublished dissertations and articles in scholarly publications. Marred only by its lack of an index and a final chapter that abandons science (and common sense) to discuss "The Shaman: The Gay and Lesbian Ancestor of Mankind," this is an invaluable reference work that can be recommended for all serious libraries and bookstores. -- From Independent Publisher
