Allan Bérubé, My Desire for History
"In his smart, heart-felt, and now classic essays on class, labor, race, gender, and sexuality in lesbian, gay, and transgender history, Allan Bérubé lives again. An excerpt from his unfinished book about the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union and his editors' moving overview of his life and work ensure that, though Bérubé has left us, his soul keeps marching on."
—Jonathan Ned Katz, historian, co-director of OutHistory.org
Whitney Strub, Perversion for Profit
"This study of the politics of pornography in postwar America is marvelous. Paying close attention to both visual and textual sources, Whitney Strub brings them alive for the reader. His genealogy of outrage from comic books to pornography is utterly original. ... The book is convincingly and responsibly opinionated and full of life."
—Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland and Before the Storm
Twin Cities GLBT Oral History Project, Queer Twin Cities
"This exemplary collection, which blends the riveting storytelling of first-person experience with passionate analysis and determined archival sleuthing is a model of politically engaged research that offers a fascinating window onto an under-appreciated aspect of two great Midwestern cities."
—Susan Stryker, Associate Professor of Gender Studies, Indiana University-Bloomington
Rebecca L. Davis, More Perfect Unions
"More Perfect Unions is essential reading for anyone interested in changing ideas of marriage, intimacy, gender, race, sexuality, and American identity itself."
— Elaine Tyler May, author of Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era
Thomas A. Foster, ed., New Men
“In lucid prose, the contributors map the contours of early American manhood from first encounters through the Revolution, and from the marriage bed to the battlefield. The results demonstrate the continuing vitality of gender as a category of analysis as well as the fascinating, sometimes terrifying dynamism of the colonial Atlantic world.”
—Jane Kamensky, author of Governing the Tongue: The Politics of Speech in Early New England
