Culture, Society and Sexuality

Gavin

Can't remember anything about it except John d'Emilio's "Capitalism and Gay Identity", which blew my mind. He argues that capitalism was a necessary condition for the emancipation of gay people, since its associated urbanisation, weakening of family ties, mass anonymity, and the autonomy of wages(!) let gay people explore, gather, and build a movement, the first time since antiquity. 

Maybe this doesn't sound so wild to you, but as a 20yo Marxist this lifted the top right off my head.
