Pink and the Black von Frédéric Martel

"An exhaustive, thoroughly researched work with a surprising 'you-are-there' readability."--Library Journal"English-speaking audiences have a number of reasons for reading The Pink and the Black, not the least of which are its detailed chronology of events and its extensive bibliography. By remaining faithful to its original French edition, the English translation provides a fascinating, unabridged peek into the French debates over how to construct a new brand of homosexuality, an identity Made in France. The Pink and the Black is an important addition to cross-cultural studies of homosexuality."--Journal of Homosexuality
