The Dictionary Of Homophobia: A Global History of Gay & Lesbian Experience

Based on the work of seventy researchers in fifteen countries, this is a mammoth, encyclopedic book that documents the history of homosexuality, and various cultural responses to it, in all regions of the world: a masterful, engaged, and wholly relevant study that traces the political and social emancipation of a culture. It is the first English translation of Dictionnaire de L'Homophobie, published in France in 2003 to worldwide acclaim.
