While recognizing the possibilities of liberal rights for sexual freedom during the Weimar Republic, the League's \"respectability politics\" failed in part because Radszuweit's own publications contributed to the idea that homosexual men were considered a threat to youth, doing little to change the views of the many people who believed in homosexual seduction - a homophobic trope that endured well into the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Javier Samper Vendrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487525036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487525033\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 04\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Javier Samper Vendrell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978326507775,"sku":"9781487525033","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4a2755f-4969-4903-a94a-efb022438019.jpg?v=1683240919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-seduction-of-youth-javier-samper-vendrell-9781487525033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
