Reviews

Mark McBeth's book is a stirring and significant addition to queer and literacy studies. Through meticulous archival research and nuanced analysis, McBeth reveals how literacy actors, discourses, and institutions coalesced in their attempts to control and thwart homosexual life, desires, and knowledges and how queer literates continually and inventively resisted and rejected their strictures. Replete with tales of subversive librarians, rhetorically-savvy activists, and tenacious queer inquisitors, this book provides an essential account of how queer people worked to shape their own lives and literacies throughout the tumultuous, and sometimes wondrous, landscape of 20th-century North American life. -- Tara Pauliny, The City University of New York
