This was assigned reading for a history class. To me, it seemed more like a tabloid paper than an actual history book. It made a great many assumptions about the sexual orientation of historical figures on very sketchy information.
"Dos versos de Teócrito à série de TV 'Queer as Folk', dos berdaches norteamericanos aos rapazes-esposa da Austrália Aborígene, este livro ilustra simultaneamente o que há de comum [na história e na geografia, entre raças e sexos] no amor e na luxúria, e de que formas tais desejos foram concebidos e construídos ao longo dos séculos."

Um coletânea de artigos organizada por Robert Aldrich que, pela sua erudição, conhecimento, perspetiva distanciada e independente, mas show more simultaneamente de "insider", é provavelmente um dos melhores livros sobre a história e cultura "gay". show less
