Queer Cities, Queer Cultures
Queer Cities, Queer Cultures examines the formation and make-up of urban subcultures and situates them against the stories we typically tell about Europe and its watershed moments in the post 1945 period. The book considers the degree to which the iconic events of 1945, 1968 and 1989 influenced the social and sexual climate of the ensuing decades, raising questions about the form and structure of the 1960s sexual revolution, and forcing us to think about how we define sexual liberalization - and where, how and on whose terms it occurs.

Encyclopedia of Lesbian and Gay Histories and Cultures
Beginning in 1869, when the study of homosexuality can be said to have begun with the establishment of sexology, this Encyclopedia offers accounts of the most important international developments in an area that now occupies a critical place in many fields of academic endeavours. While gays and lesbians have shared many aspects of life, their histories and cultures developed in profoundly different ways. To reflect this crucial fact, the Encyclopedia has been prepared in two separate volumes assuring that both histories receive full, unbiased attention and that a broad range of human experience is covered. Written by some of the most famous names in the field, as well as new researchers this is intended as a reference for students and scholars in all areas of study, as well as the general public.

Isä meidänkin
Isä meidänkin on syntynyt ammatillisesta tarpeesta kirjoittaa siitä, mitä on elää kristittynä (ev.lut.) sateenkaari-ihmisenä suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa ja seurakunnassa. Kirja peilaa aihepiiriä historiasta nykypäivään. Asiaa käsitellään myös moninaisten kokemustarinoiden kautta. Kirja ei pyri olemaan tyhjentävä tai täydellinen kuva aiheesta vaan opas hengellisen väkivallan taustatekijöihin sekä siihen, miten siitä voi selvitä ja miten syrjiviin rakenteisiin voi vaikuttaa. Kirjassa kerrotaan myös seurakunnissa tällä hetkellä tehtävästä sateenkaarityöstä. Isä meidänkin -kirja ei ole hengellinen teos vaan ammatillinen käsikirja, joka on kirjoitettu kaikille kohtaamistyötä tekeville asiakkaiden hengellisen väkivallan kokemusten käsittelyn tueksi. Kirja soveltuu myös hengellistä väkivaltaa kokeneille tiedon ja vertaistuen lähteeksi sekä oman kokemuksen käsittelemisen avuksi. Lisäksi se sopii ihan kaikille aihepiiristä kiinnostuneille.
Sinners and Citizens
Sinners and Citizens explores how sexual habits changed in Sweden during its development from an agrarian society into a modern welfare state. Jens Rydström examines the history of homosexuality and bestiality in that country to consider why these sexual practices have been so closely linked in virtually all Western societies. He limns sharply the distinctive experience of rural life, showing that to regularly witness farm animals stirred passions and sparked ideas, especially among young farmhands. Based on medical journals, psychiatric reports, and court records from the period, as well as testimonies from men in diaries, letters, and interviews, Sinners and Citizens reveals that bestiality was once a dreaded crime in Sweden. But in time, mention of the practice disappeared completely from legal and medical debates. This, Rydström contends, is because models of penetrative sodomy shifted from bestiality to homosexuality as Sweden transformed from a rural society into a more urban one. As the nation's economy and culture became less identified with the countryside, so too did its idea of deviant sexual behavior.
