Who are we as homosexuals? Who might we become? How are we to act politically? In short, how are we to live?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn lively prose Robert Reynolds looks at how these men and women undertook what is now a universal task: the reinvention of the self in an era of uncertainty and change, where old answers no longer suffice, and where sexuality is a core preoccupation. This agile account avoids simple, romantic or stereotyped views of the gay and lesbian movements to reveal a complex but largely forgotten history and legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReynolds delves into personal stories, moving adroitly from the camp bars of the 1960s to the openly proud homosexuals who have created a politics of homosexuality in Australia. He presents a highly readable yet complex history in which there are no simple dualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom camp to gay to the recent movement of queer, from modern to postmodern and a transgressive use of psychoanalysis, \u003cem\u003eFrom Camp to Queer\u003c\/em\u003e is a sophisticated yet highly accessible story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Reynolds\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Modern History at Macquarie University, Sydney.
