Queer Histories and the Politics of Policing (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents an analysis of the complexities, compromises, and investments that underpin LGBT efforts to achieve sexual rights and protections. With an historical trajectory that spans the so-called "decriminalisation" era to the present day, it shows how activists have both resisted and embraced police incursions into queer space.
