This book tells the stories of notable historical figures who, by
resisting patriarchal laws condemning adultery, gay and lesbian
sex, and sex across the boundaries of religion and race, brought
about lasting social and political change. Constitutional scholar
David A. J. Richards investigates the lives of leading
transgressive artists, social critics, and activists including
George Eliot, Benjamin Britten, Christopher Isherwood, Bayard
Rustin, James Baldwin, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Margaret Mead.
Richards shows how ethical empowerment, motivated by love, allowed
these figures to resist the injustices of anti-Semitism, racism,
sexism, and homophobia, leading to the constitutional condemnation
of these political evils in the United States, Britain, and beyond.
Love and law thus grow together, and this book shows how and why.
Drawing from developmental psychology (including studies of
trauma), political theory, the history of social movements,
literature, biography, and law, this book will be a
thought-provoking tool for anyone interested in civil rights.
