Paperback. Condizione: New. "Espinoza's book stands out as a beacon for future queer writers, thinkers, and activists. Reading these accounts, I felt myself drawn into a past both wonderful and strange, a world I hope we will continue to celebrate and preserve." -Garrard ConleyAcclaimed author Alex Espinoza takes readers on an uncensored journey through the underground, to reveal the timeless art of cruising. Combining historical research and oral history with his own personal experience, Espinoza examines the political and cultural forces behind this radical pastime. From Greek antiquity to the notorious Molly houses of 18th century England, the raucous 1970s to the algorithms of Grindr, Oscar Wilde to George Michael, cruising remains at once a reclamation of public space and the creation of its own unique locale-one in which men of all races and classes interact, even in the shadow of repressive governments. In Uganda and Russia, we meet activists for whom cruising can be a matter of life and death; while in the West he shows how cruising circumvents the inequalities and abuses of power that plague heterosexual encounters. Ultimately, Espinoza illustrates how cruising functions as a powerful rebuke to patriarchy and capitalism-unless you are cruising the department store restroom, of course.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An intimate history of cruising for sex, its impact on society, and what cruising looks like today:-Alex has done extensive research, from looking at the coded guide books men used in the 60s (when what color handkerchief you wore, and where, meant what you were looking for) to the Victorian 'Molly Houses' in England, where cruising is known as 'Cottaging.'-Cruising really begins with cities, and it was actually the first anti-sodomy laws in 14th Century Florence that sparked the craze: they were pointing out where the acts occurred, and men discovered this new idea. -The book is also looking at cruising in restricted societies like Russia, and we've found that the more restrictive a society, the more cruising flourishes. -Everything is coded and unspoken, even the word 'cruising' itself was chosen to be innocuous to straight people. -This is the first history of its kind, because for too long LGBT histories were not treated as important. We're going to change that.…
