Description:
Radical scholar and activist Martin Duberman assembles a representative cross section of his writings in Left Out, an anthology that includes essays on racial politics and gay and lesbian history, as well as critiques of U.S. foreign policy, campus radicalism, and several other topics. Whether he's discussing his experiences working on his acclaimed biography of Paul Robeson or the early years of the National Gay Task Force, Duberman writes with visible passion--giving free rein to his humor and keeping his occasional fury in check. Among the highlights in Left Out are "The 'Father' of the Homophile Movement," a long biographical essay about Donald Webster Cory, also known as Edward Sagarin (who wrote a pioneering account of homosexual life in the 1950s but later became a staunch critic of the movement for acceptance of gays), and "Kinsey's Urethra," a caustic pan of a heavily moralistic biography of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey.
