This volume places pornography at the heart of the 1970s American experience, exploring lesser-known forms of pornography from the decade, such as a new, vibrant gay porn genre; transsexual/female impersonator magazines; and pornography for new users, including women and conservative Christians.

How will we archive the vibrant lesbian cultural spaces of the 1970s, 80s and 90s? Bookstores, bars, and concert spaces are vanishing as physical sites and from recent memory. This volume explores the rise and fall of events and spaces built by and for lesbians in the era of woman-identified activism.

Sex, Soldiers and the South Pacific, 1939-45 explores the queer lives and loves of Allied servicemen in the South Seas. It traces the complexities of homoerotic inclination and self-expression among local and foreign servicemen in Australia, and among soldiers stationed in New Guinea and New Caledonia. Based on meticulous archival research Smaal shows how men in and out of uniform forged new beginnings and possibilities, how they created circuits of thinking and practice, and how they employed strategies of resistance and negotiation to live happy and fulfilling lives despite the best efforts of civil and military authorities to control homosexual culture.
