Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the complex evolution of queer media visibility, highlighting key historical moments such as the Hollywood Production Code, the AIDS crisis, and the post-9/11 reimagining of queer representation. It critiques the notion of progressive visibility, arguing that it often centers on white gay and lesbian narratives, while overlooking broader queer experiences. Through an analysis of film, TV, and print media, it uncovers connections between past and present representations, illustrating how these narratives influence perceptions of American identity and history.
