Mark McBeth is associate professor of English at City University of New York.
Mark McBeth's book is a stirring and significant addition to queer
and literacy studies. Through meticulous archival research and
nuanced analysis, McBeth reveals how literacy actors, discourses,
and institutions coalesced in their attempts to control and thwart
homosexual life, desires, and knowledges and how queer literates
continually and inventively resisted and rejected their strictures.
Replete with tales of subversive librarians, rhetorically-savvy
activists, and tenacious queer inquisitors, this book provides an
essential account of how queer people worked to shape their own
lives and literacies throughout the tumultuous, and sometimes
wondrous, landscape of 20th-century North American life.
