Queer Sites: Gay Urban Histories Since 1600

Rating:
Summary: Excellent introductory book
Review: This is a perfect book for a curious gay traveller who wants to learn something more about the city he is going to than just the locations of gay spots. All the authors who contributed to the collection are both experts in their areas and experienced writers - the texts are accurate and entertaining. The book does not reach the depths of a profound socio-cultural research, but it is an excellent introduction to different gay national cultures viewed from respective capitals.
