It presents evidence that queers are part of a centuries-old history, possessing a unified historical and cultural identity. The volume reviews the fundamental historiographical issues about the nature of queer history, arguing that a new generation of queer historians will need to abandon authoritarian dogma founded upon politically-correct ideology rather than historical experience. Norton offers a clear exposition of the evidence for ancient, indigenous and pre-modern queer cultural continuity, revealing how knowledge of that history has been suppressed and censored and sets out the 'queer cultural essentialist' position on the key topics of queer history ? role, identity, bisexuality, orientation, linguistics, social control, homophobia, subcultures, and kinship patterns."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aGender Studies: Bloomsbury Academic Collections 606 $aMale homosexuality$xHistory 606 $aGays$xHistory 606 $aHomosexuality$xHistory 606 $aHomosexuality$xhistory 606 $aPhilosophy$2bicssc 615 0$aMale homosexuality$xHistory. 615 0$aGays$xHistory. 615 0$aHomosexuality$xHistory. 615 2$aHomosexuality$xhistory. 615 7$aPhilosophy 676 $a306.76/62/09 686 $a71.25$2bcl 686 $aLB 44000$2rvk 686 $aMS 2870$2rvk 700 $aNorton$b Rictor$f1945-$01462273 801 0$bOCLCE 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798659303321 996 $aThe myth of the modern homosexual$93671189 997 $aUNINA
