Following a captivating cast of characters, from gay spies and Nazi scientists to queer politicians and secret police bureaucrats, \u003ci\u003eStates of Liberation \u003c\/i\u003etells the remarkable story of how the two German states persecuted gay men - and how those men slowly, over the course of decades, won new rights and created new opportunities for themselves in the heart of Cold War Europe. Relying on untapped archives in Germany and the United States as well as oral histories with witnesses and survivors, Huneke reveals that communist East Germany was in many ways far more progressive on queer issues than democratic West Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Clowes Huneke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487542143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487542146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Samuel Clowes Huneke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046915240191,"sku":"9781487542146","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2991b5a-2268-4ca7-aa77-dc39a8f9203a.jpg?v=1684987219","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/states-of-liberation-samuel-clowes-huneke-9781487542146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
