 Hidden
from History : Reclaiming the Gay and Lesbian Past by
Martha Vicinus,
George Chauncey, Martin Bauml Duberman
Without peer, Hidden from History gathers
together the works of the most exciting scholars in the dynamic
field of homosexual studies, making this a ground-breaking and
provocative work that reveals the history of gays and lesbians in
different cultures and eras. Photos.
"This book is chockfull 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."

Excerpt:
George Chauncey is a social and
cultural historian of the United States whose research and
teaching focus on urbanism, gender, sexuality, subjectivity, and
social movements in the twentieth century. He is the author of Gay
New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male
World, 1890-1940 (Basic, 1994), which won the Frederick
Jackson Turner Award and Merle Curti Social History Award from the
Organization of American Historians, as well as the Los Angeles
Times Book Prize and a Lambda Literary Award. He is currently
working on "The Strange Career of the Closet: Gay Culture,
Consciousness, and Politics from the Second World War to the
Stonewall Era," which reconstructs the postwar social history
of gay male institutions and everyday life and develops an
ethnographic analysis of the changing categories of sexual
experience and identity in those years. It uses the changes in gay
culture and consciousness in the 1950s and 60s as a vantage point
from which to analyze the broader cultural changes of which they
were a part and is particularly interested in understanding the
development of the gay liberation movement in the 1960s in
relation to broad changes in the relationship between the public
and private self and spheres during that period...
