Reviews

Finkelstein makes sure to emphasise the partiality of his story, while offering an admirably detailed and carefully drawn picture of the many affinities that made his story to stick out. * Gesnerus * While there is no equation for writing history, this generous and generative book will inspire artists, activists, and historians to do the math themselves. * Critical Inquiry * Finkelstein's life of activism and creativity is hugely impressive, and this book is a perfect reflection of that. It is emotionally and intellectually engaging at once, never losing sight of the political history the author is recounting. * Gay and Lesbian Review *
