Reviews

“Belfastmen is a brave, unflinching, and deeply humane exploration of complex past queer lives in their historical time. Tom Hulme masters, with imagination and intellectual depth, the challenge of respecting the integrity of past sexual experiences and understandings, while enabling that history to enlighten the present.” - Lindsey Earner-Byrne, Trinity College Dublin “This book is a rich, powerful, and moving intervention into pressing debates in queer history, urban history, and histories of masculinity.” – Matt Houlbrook, author of Queer London “Belfastmen is a love letter to a lost world: a queer Belfast before the Troubles and before sexual liberation. Recounting gender and sexual transgressions and tender love affairs, scandals and mundane acceptance, surprising solidarities and painful hierarchies, this book reassures me of the resilience of queer life.” – Mo Moulton, author of The Mutual Admiration Society
