It was destroyed by the Nazis in 1933. This episode in history prompted Heike Bauer to ask, Is violence an intrinsic part of modern queer culture? \u003ci\u003eThe Hirschfeld Archives\u003c\/i\u003e answers this critical question by examining the violence that shaped queer existence in the first part of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHirschfeld himself escaped the Nazis, and many of his papers and publications survived. Bauer examines his accounts of same-sex life from published and unpublished writings, as well as books, articles, diaries, films, photographs and other visual materials, to scrutinize how violence-including persecution, death and suicide-shaped the development of homosexual rights and political activism. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Hirschfeld Archives\u003c\/i\u003e brings these fragments of queer experience together to reveal many unknown and interesting accounts of LGBTQ life in the early twentieth century, but also to illuminate the fact that homosexual rights politics were haunted from the beginning by racism, colonial brutality, and gender violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heike Bauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439914335","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45056841384051,"sku":"9781439914335","price":45.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_c6966288-9b9a-45da-a6cf-982e57d33307.jpg?v=1780164118","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-hirschfeld-archives-violence-death-and-modern-queer-culture-9781439914335","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
