Homosexuality in Cold War America - Resistance and the Crisis of Masculinity

"Corber substantially rethinks the work of these 1950s writers and links them to recent poststructuralist interventions. Wonderfully nuanced, this marks an important contribution to the field of U. S. cultural studies."--David Savran, Brown University
