- Synopsis
- A remarkable collection of historical documents and ground-breaking essays by the prize-winning historian Martin Duberman, About Time appears here in a completely updated and expanded edition. It includes startling revelations on such subjects as a "female husband" in the 1820s, transvestism and sexual rituals among the Zuni Indians, homoerotic letters from the antebellum South, and sex in FDR's all-male Civilian Conservation Corps. Duberman's own trenchant essays, written between 1974 and 1991, prove to be both prophetic and enlightening, spanning everything from bisexuality in the ancient world to radicalism and reform in today's gay rights movement. And exclusive to this edition is an up-to-date, comprehensive bibliography of gay issues and gay history which provides a long-needed authoritative resource for the burgeoning field of gay studies.
