The Color of Desire tells the story of how, in the aftermath of gay liberation, race played a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of queer, German politics. Focusing on the Federal Republic of Germany, Christopher Ewing charts both the entrenchment of racisms within white, queer scenes and the formation of new, antiracist movements that contested overlapping marginalizations. Far from being discrete political trajectories, racist and antiracist politics were closely connected, as activists worked across groups to develop their visions for queer politics. Ewing describes not only how AIDS workers, gay tourists, white lesbians, queer immigrants, and Black feminists were connected in unexpec...
Sex and the Weimar Republic shows how, in Weimar Germany, the citizen's right to sexual freedom came with a duty to keep sexuality private, non-commercial, and respectable.
Queer Lives across the Wall examines the everyday lives of queer Berliners between 1945 and 1970, tracing private and public queer life from the end of the Nazi regime through the gay and lesbian liberation movements of the 1970s. Andrea Rottmann explores how certain spaces – including homes, bars, streets, parks, and prisons – facilitated and restricted queer lives in the overwhelmingly conservative climate that characterized both German postwar states. With a theoretical toolkit informed by feminist, queer, and spatial theories, the book goes beyond previous histories that focus on state surveillance and the persecution of male homosexuality.

From Socrates to Antonio Gramsci, imprisoned philosophers have marked the history of thought and changed how we view power and politics. From his solitary jail cell, Abdullah Öcalan has penned daringly innovative works that give profuse evidence of his position as one of the most significant thinkers of our day. His prison writings have mobilized tens of thousands of people and inspired a revolution in the making in Rojava, northern Syria, while also penetrating the insular walls of academia and triggering debate and reflection among countless scholars. So how do you engage in a meaningful dialogue with Abdullah Öcalan when he has been held in total isolation since April 2015? You compile ...
In 1931, a sexologist arrived in colonial Shanghai to give a public lecture about homosexuality. In the audience was a medical student. The sexologist, Magnus Hirschfeld, fell in love with the medical student, Li Shiu Tong. Li became Hirschfeld’s assistant on a lecture tour around the world. Racism and the Making of Gay Rights shows how Hirschfeld laid the groundwork for modern gay rights, and how he did so by borrowing from a disturbing set of racist, imperial, and eugenic ideas. Following Hirschfeld and Li in their travels through the American, Dutch, and British empires, from Manila to Tel Aviv to having tea with Langston Hughes in New York City, and then into exile in Hitler’s Europe, Laurie Marhoefer provides a vivid portrait of queer lives in the 1930s and of the turbulent, often-forgotten first chapter of gay rights.
Menschen, die nicht ins heteronormative Raster der Gesellschaft passen, werden auch heute noch in vielen Lebensbereichen benachteiligt. Forschung und Wissensvermittlung helfen, diesen Diskriminierungen und bestehenden Vorurteilen zu begegnen und Akzeptanz gegenüber Lesben, Schwulen, Bisexuellen, Trans* und Inter* (LSBTI*) aufzubauen. So beschäftigen sich zahlreiche Forschungsarbeiten mit den Lebenswelten von LSBTI* in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. In bisher einzigartig vielfältiger Zusammenstellung geben Expert_innen in diesem Band einen Einblick in ihre LSBTI*-Forschungsarbeit und diskutieren aktuelle Forschungsperspektiven. Die Beiträge zeigen Forschungslücken auf und erörtern die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von »Forschung im Queerformat«.
In den letzten Jahren ist Multikulturalismus als Theorie und Politik der Anerkennung von Gruppenrechten unter Druck geraten. Verantwortlich dafür ist auch eine zunehmende Wahrnehmung problematischer Praktiken ethnischer und religiöser Gruppen, wie etwa der Zwangsheirat. Sexuelle Kontrolle findet sich aber nicht nur hier, sondern zeigt sich auch im Ausschluss gleichgeschlechtlicher Paare von der Ehe. Die Autorinnen und Autoren untersuchen diese Problematiken aus juristischer wie aus sozialanthropologischer Perspektive für Österreich, Großbritannien und die Türkei und zeigen die Notwendigkeit auf, die Debatten um kulturelle Unterschiede, Geschlechtergleichheit und sexuelle Autonomie zusammenzuführen.
