Biografisk notat
Jeffrey Escoffier is a Research Associate at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research and the former director of public health media at the New York City Department of Health. He was the Executive Editor of Socialist Review (Berkeley) and one of the founders of OUT/LOOK: National Lesbian and Gay Quarterly. He is also the author of a short biography of John Maynard Keynes and of Bigger Than Life: The History of Gay Porn Cinema from Beefcake to Hardcore and the editor of Sexual Revolution, a collection of the most important American writing on sex published during the 1960 and 70s. He has taught at the University of California at Berkeley and Davis, Rutgers University, the New School for Social Research and Columbia University.[American Homo explores] sexual revolution as a prolonged process rather than a single event, and the central and formative role of LGBT struggles within that. [Escoffier is] firmly committed to the significance of LGBT agency and grass-roots knowledge in creating the conditions for radical change. This is a landmark book that deserves to be read and re-read.

For anyone interested in the history of LGBT life, both the history of the past, and the history of what may come.
