Condition: Very Good

Cover partly discoloured and partly stressed, ink inscription on pre-title and pages foxed, but binding tight and condition very good for a paperback of this period.


Content:

"Gay is proud! Rejecting traditional sociological and psychoanalytic attitudes towards homosexuality and the apologetic guilt-ridden posture of previous generations of homosexuals, Denis Altman offers a thorough and jubilant analysis of the gay liberation movement. Tracing the movement's origin and inspiration to the success of the Black and Women's movements, Altman demonstrates the different ways in which all three groups are working - both separately and with each other - to achieve an end to oppression, acceptance and a more meaningful role in society."

Background / Biography:

Altman is an Australian academic.


Reviews:

"The one to read ... may very well be the most intelligible and best written book on the subject of the homosexual." Minneapolis Tribune

"Among all the books to date by and about the political homosexual, the Altman book is a pleasure ... a really sensitive, lucid account of his personal liberation ... as well as a penetrating analysis of the political premises and goals and philosophical background of the movement." The New York Times
