Racism and the Making of Gay Rights by Laurie Marhoefer
A love story packed with gay history, this dual biography of a sexologist and his student sheds light on the early gay rights movement and the racist and imperial concepts that are embedded in queer politics.
“Marhoefer's achievement in Racism and the Making of Gay Rights is not just to place Li back into the lecture halls and the steamships of their shared journey, but also to brilliantly reframe Hirschfeld as a man of his era, a man who developed and popularized the concept of ‘homosexuality’ in a world that was shaped by the fact of empire … This book should be required reading for anybody with a professional, political, or personal interest in the ‘homosexual’” -- Lauren Stokes, Northwestern University * Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences *
Laurie Marhoefer is the Jon Bridgman Endowed Associate Professor in History at the University of Washington.
