Some Men in London: Queer Life 1945-1959 - Peter Parker
This is just volume 1 in Peter Parker's project. It is an anthology that will uncover the reality of life for queer men in London from the end of the Second World War to decriminalisation in 1967. This initial volume runs from 1945-1959.
The book details a community forced to live wit the constant threat of blackmail or prison. Yet it also shows a thriving and joyous subculture, one that enriched a mainstream culture often ignorant of its debt to gay creators. The book is a testament to queer life, which was always much more complex than newspapers, governments and the Metropolitan Police Force imagined.
