Historicizing both emotions and politics, this open access book
argues that the historical work of emotion is most clearly
understood in terms of the dynamics of institutionalization. This
is shown in twelve case studies that focus on decisive moments in
European and US history from 1800 until today. Each case study
clarifies how emotions were central to people's political
engagement and its effects. The sources range from parliamentary
buildings and social movements, to images and speeches of
presidents, from fascist cemeteries to the International Criminal
Court. Both the timeframe and the geographical focus have been
chosen to highlight the increasingly participatory character of
nineteenth- and twentieth-century politics, which is inconceivable
without the work of emotions.

2014 Lambda Literary Award Finalist: LGBT Nonfiction
Breaks down the most commonly held misconceptions about lesbian,
gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their lives
In ""You Can Tell Just by Looking"" three scholars and activists
come together to unpack enduring, popular, and deeply held myths
about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, culture, and
life in America. Myths, such as "All Religions Condemn
Homosexuality" and "Transgender People Are Mentally Ill," have been
used to justify discrimination and oppression of LGBT people.
Others, such as "Homosexuals Are Born That Way," have been embraced
by LGBT communities and their allies. In discussing and dispelling
these myths--including gay-positive ones--the authors challenge
readers to question their own beliefs and to grapple with the
complexities of what it means to be queer in the broadest social,
political, and cultural sense.
