Legal Inversions
Lesbians, Gay Men, and the Politics of the Law
Didi Herman; Carl Stychin
Law reform struggles have always been a part of the grassroots lesbian and gay agenda. These critical essays examine the politics of these engagements, of lesbians, gay men, and the law in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. From a wide range of perspectives, the contributors combine new conceptual insights with a concern for the practicalities of political engagements, tackling such vital topics as legal definitions of homosexuality, AIDS activism, and race and sexuality. Didi Herman is Senior Lecturer in Law at Keele University, United Kingdom, and author of ‘Rights of Passage: Struggles for Lesbian and Gay Equality’. Carl Stychin is Lecturer in Law at Keele University, and author of ‘Law’s Desire: Sexuality and the Limits of Justice’.
