The Right Side of History
The Right Side of History tells the 100-year history of queer activism in a series of revealing close-ups, first-person accounts, and intimate snapshots of LGBT pioneers and radicals. This diverse cast stretches from the Edwardian period to today. Described by gay scholar Jonathan Katz as "willfully cacophonous, a chorus of voices untamed," The Right Side of History sets itself apart by starting with the turn-of-the-century bohemianism of Isadora Duncan and the 1924 establishment of the nation’s first gay group, the Society for Human Rights; it also includes gay activism of labor unions in the 1920s and 1930s; the 1950s civil rights movement; the 1960s anti-war protests; the sexual liberat...

The Glass Arcade
"Back in the 1930s he had seen his parents shot to death by the Nazis but the nightmare had not ended there, for Michael Kurtz had been given a "reprieve," sent to become one of Herr Lorken's boy courtesans in a brother catering to all the appetites of the elite officers of the Third Reich. Here, as a boy, Michael had to learn survival... and submission to a new way of life, the life of a painted slave in a perfumed palace for soldiers. Now, as a man, he must learn to face his past, to remember the bullets and the pain... and the surprising tenderness he found at the hands of the enigmatic Herr Lorken, the magnificent lord of the fantastic Glass Arcade"--Page 4 of cover.

Discourses of Denial
Enriched by its official policies of multiculturalism, gender equality, and human rights, the Canadian public is occasionally shocked by glaring acts of racist and sexist violence brought to their attention by the sensationalist media. But nobody pauses to consider the historical antecedents and root causes of these tragedies. Discourses of Denial uncovers how racism, sexism, and violence interweave deep within the foundations of our society. Using examples from the lives of immigrant girls and women of colour, Yasmin Jiwani considers the way accepted definitions of race and gender shape and influence public consciousness. In linking race, gender, and violence, this book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the complex and interconnected influences that shape the violence of contemporary social reality and that contour the lives of racialized women.
