This moving, thoughtful, wry book is memoir, social history, and elegy for an almost forgotten world. It looks steadily and honestly at the varied texture of that world, from gutting fish off Iceland to working on the buses, from having formal high tea with the Great Aunts to delivering meat on a bicycle, from sharp memories of a fifty-in-a-class primary school to trying for a scholarship to Cambridge University - and leaving that lost world for ever.

First published in 1986 to wide critical acclaim, The Sexual Perspective broke new ground by bringing together and discussing the painting, sculpture and photography of artists who were gay/lesbian/queer/bisexual. The lavishly illustrated new edition discusses the greater lesbian visibility within the visual arts and artist's responses to the AIDS epidemic. Emmanuel Cooper places the art in its artistic, social and legal contexts, making it a vital contribution to current debates about art, gender, identity and sexuality.
"Alarms have been raised for some while about the declining quality of Canadian universities and the education product they deliver amid years of underfunding and overcrowding and dramatic increases in student tuition fees and debt levels. This volume offers a timely examination of these issues and forwards a number of proposals for reform in the Canadian postsecondary education sector."--BOOK JACKET.
