The aim of the Reader's Guides is to provide guidance to the secondary material in specific intellectual disciplines by means of essays that analyze, interpret, and evaluate that material--providing the student, teacher, researcher, and librarian with informed recommendations for further reading. The Reader's Guide to Lesbian and Gay Studiessurveys the field in some 470 entries on individuals (Adrienne Rich); arts and cultural studies (Dance); ethics, religion, and philosophical issues (Monastic Traditions); historical figures, periods, and ideas (Germany between the World Wars); language, literature, and communication (British Drama); law and politics (Child Custody); medicine and biological sciences (Health and Illness); and psychology, social sciences, and education (Kinsey Report). Among the numerous reference books in the area of gay-lesbian-queer studies, there is none that is planned and structured along the same lines as this volume, as a critical and explanatory guide to thewide range of literature available on these topics. An international team of some 200 scholars has contributed to this much-needed guide.

Industry Reviews

'it is remarkable that a reference of this comprehensiveness has not appeared sooner ... a remarkable and groundbreaking work. An essential purchase for human sexuality and gay and lesbian study collections, it belongs in most academic and public libraries.' Library Journal 'Highly recommended as a collection aid for all libraries supporting lesbian and gay studies.' CHOICE 'Kudos to editor Murphy and the diverse and notable roster of advisers and contributors who worked together to create what may well be the first reference guide and index to existing academic literature on topics important in lesbian and gay studies....This is an excellent guide for serious researchers at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.'
