From homosexual law reform to drag kings; from HIV/AIDS to lesbian
artists; from old age to movie-going ...gay and lesbian life in
Australia has always been a vibrant canvas. In this collection, the
sixth in the Gay and Lesbian Perspectives series, established and
newly emerging Australian historians cast an eye over the past
hundred years or so. Drawing on sources a diverse as government
records, police and court documents, archives and memoirs and oral
histories from across the nation, they have unearthed stories that
will surprise and delight and inform. These are histories that
arent taught at school but should be!
In this, the latest in the Gay and Lesbian Perspectives series,
researchers explore the rich history of queer Australasia,
uncovering photographic records of small-town male intimacy, cases
of police entrapment, the mysterious suicide pact of Charles Marks
and Edward Feeny, the Australian Security Intelligence
Organization's attempts to grapple with "persons with serious
character defects," and previously unexamined political and
cultural expressions of gay/lesbian/queer activism over the last
four decades. The result is an original and important contribution
to understanding a history that is all too often shrouded in
secrecy. (Series: Gay and Lesbian Perspectives - Vol. 7)
