“In addition to the accessibility of language and theory, the contributions are by authors from diverse educational and career backgrounds, and who provide unique insights that are not often presented or engaged with in academic publications.

SEXUAL SELF-FASHIONING
Iranian Dutch Narratives of Sexuality and Belonging
Rahil Roodsaz

Sexuality and gender have come to serve as measures for cultural belonging in discussions of the position of Muslim immigrants in multicultural Western societies. While the acceptance of assumed local norms such as sexual liberty and gender equality are seen as successful integration, rejecting them is regarded as a sign of failed citizenship. Focusing on premarital sex, homosexuality, and cohabitation outside marriage, this book provides an ethnographic account of sexuality among the Iranian Dutch. It argues that by embracing, rejecting, and questioning modernity in stories about sexuality, the Iranian Dutch actively engage in processes of self-fashioning.

DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS
German and Dutch Discourses of Queer Femininity and Female Desire, 1918–1940
Cyd Sturgess

Different from the Others is a synthetic and original study. The conceptualization is very sophisticated and the author’s ability to use sexological literature, film, and other print sources to address questions of identity are extremely compelling.” • Robert Beachy, Yonsei University

AFTER DIFFERENCE
Queer Activism in Italy and Anthropological Theory
Paolo Heywood

“The book offers a fascinating and insightful discussion on how queer activism’s anti-identitarian character itself constitutes a form of identity, a way for activists to agree on something…It is a valuable and provocative contribution to anthropology which raises important challenges for the discipline and for researchers, principally as regards the way in which they conceive of identity and difference both intellectually and in relation to their objects of research.” • Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

Read Introduction

COMMUNITIES AND PLACE
A Thematic Approach to the Histories of LGBTQ Communities in the United States
Edited by Katherine Crawford-Lackey and Megan E. Springate

“This is a very strong volume. Public historians committed to working with LGBTQ communities should consider getting their hands on all three volumes. Altogether, these books represent a stunning achievement in synthesizing cutting-edge scholarship on queer communities in the United States, placed within the very helpful context of thinking about historic preservation and interpretation. Many of the authors in Communities and Place are celebrated scholars with important monographs on queer history to their names. All of this combines to make a volume that is well worth your read, even if you already have consumed the essays in LGBTQ America.” • Public Historian

THE MASCULINE WOMAN IN WEIMAR GERMANY
Katie Sutton

“…a valuable contribution both to studies in cultural history and to the history of gender and sexuality in Weimar Germany, which will be of interest to scholars and students alike. Sutton’s clearly written prose renders the book very accessible. By shifting the focus onto a previously largely neglected area, the study invites further examination of queer genders, both female and male, in pre-Nazi Germany, which, one hopes, will appear before long.  ·  Seminar.
