Homosexual; Oppression and Liberation"Gay is proud! Rejecting traditional sociological and psychoanalytic attitudes toward homosexuality and the apologetic, guilt-ridden posture of previous generations of homosexuals, Dennis 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"--Page 4 of cover |
