Queer Noises Male and Female Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century Music John Gill 1995 Spring

This fascinating account of gays and lesbians in the music industry considers the lives of a host of performers-from Benjamin Britten and John Cage to Bessie Smith and Janis Joplin, from Billy Strayhorn and Cecil Taylor to Sun Ra and the Pet Shop Boys. Witty, opinionated, and occasionally outrageous, Gill attempts to end the silence about the contributions of gays and lesbians to twentieth-century music.

Racial Conditions Politics, Theory, Comparisons Howard Winant 1994 Spring

More than a quarter-century after the passage of civil rights legislation in the United States and decades since the last European colonies attained their independence, race continues to play a central role in cultural, political, and economic life, both in the United States and around the globe. Howard Winant argues that race cannot be understood as a “social problem” or as a “survival” of earlier, more benighted ages. Indeed, from the rise of Europe to the present, race has been a social condition, a permanent though flexible feature of human society and identity. Among the topics discussed are the relationship between race and class, as well as the racial dimensions of gender, diaspora, colonialism, and fascism. Other key topics include the changing nature of racial identity in the post-civil rights era, the 1992 Los Angeles riot, and politics of race in Brazil.
