Product Description
Review
"Positioning himself firmly on the radical side, D'Emilio advocates nothing less than a total reevaluation of our society's sexual paradigm. Although a single voice is heard in these essays, D'Emilio's call for gays and lesbians to move beyond minority status to one of freedom and choice, to embark on new journeys of sexual definition, ' may well be the rallying cry for renewed activism in the struggle for social justice."

Product Description
Combining historical and political analysis with autobiography and memoir, Making Trouble brings together the essays of John D'Emilio, a pioneering gay historian and long-time movement activist. Written over a period of almost twenty years, these essays provide a unique exploration of the history of gay life since World War II, describe the courage and accomplishments of gay and lesbian activists, and survey the vast changes that their movement for equality has had on American society, politics, and the university.

Really accessible book by a noted gay scholar
1 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
John D'Emilio is a celebrated gay academic who wrote about gay issues when scholars were too afraid to risk their chances for tenure to do so. He is just as brave as George Chauncey and Esther Newton, gay academics who fought for the right to do gay scholarship. This book is a smorgasbord of his essays. It includes his groundbreaking piece "Capitalism and Gay Identity." It also has an awesome chapter where D'Emilio critiques anti-porn feminist activism. This book would be easy for non-academic readers to peruse as well. I would recommend this and all of D'Emilio's books.
