Men Like That

Discover the rich tapestry of queer life in the South with Men Like That by John Howard, published by The University of Chicago Press in 2001. This compelling 395-page exploration challenges the stereotype that same-sex desires are confined to urban environments. Instead, Howard reveals how small-town institutions—such as home, church, school, and workplace—served as vital spaces for the expression of queer sexuality. Through meticulous research and engaging narratives, this book provides a fresh perspective on American history post-1945, particularly within rural communities. Ideal for readers interested in Gay & Lesbian studies, Gender Studies, and Sociology, Men Like That is an essential addition to your collection that highlights the resilience and vibrancy of queer identities in unexpected places. Dive into this enlightening work and broaden your understanding of LGBTQ+ history in America.
