About the Book

Lately ideas of gayness have become more complicated. Gay communities are vilified over AIDS, courted as consumers, urged to be queer and/or bisexual. In a sequence running historically from Stephen Spender through Harvey Feinstein, Derek Jarman and the Pet Shop Boys, and politically between the transgression of Jean Genet and the assimilation of David Leavitt, Sinfield shows how gay identities have been constituted and how they may change in the future. In a global context, where identities are unstable and the market rules, what does gay mean and how are gay communities to generate a new politics? In this accessible, wide ranging and provocative book, Alan Sinfield answers these key questions of gay sexuality at the end of the century.

About the Author :
Alan Sinfield lives in Brighton. He teaches English and cultural studies at the University of Sussex, and was co-founder there of the MA in Sexual Dissidence and Cultural Change. He has lectured widely in Europe and the US, and held visiting positions at the University of California, Berkeley, and Northwestern University. He writes regularly for Gay Times.

Review :
Gay And After confirms Alan Sinfield's position as the most insightful, entertaining and critical guide to the gay cultural arena. Sinfield's analysis of the shifting voices of sexual dissidence is made all the more impressive by his broader vision of the politics which it can, or might, inspire Alan Sinfield's lively and perceptive book will be a valuable contribution to gay and lesbian studies at a moment when the hard won identities of the past seem to have lost much of their relevance and we are all being challenged to understand and represent ourselves in new ways Entertaining, lively, provocative and impressively wide-ranging. Alan Sinfield's Gay And After poses questions about where gay culture and where gay life are going in the new millennium
