Making Trouble: Essays on Gay History, Politics, and the University

"Positioning himself firmly on the radical side, D'Emilio advocates nothing less than a total reevaluation of our society's sexual paradigm. Although a single voice is heard in these essays, D'Emilio's call for gays and lesbians to move beyond minority status to one of freedom and choice, `to embark on new journeys of sexual definition,' may well be the rallying cry for renewed activism in the struggle for social justice." -- Library Journal
