Racism and the Making of Gay Rights: A Sexologist, His Student, and the Empire of Queer Love by Laurie Marhoefer

informative medium-paced

3.0

An interesting and much needed revisiting of Magnus Hirschfeld’s theories and legacy. A bit repetitive at times, and I’m not entirely sold on how the author framed their speculation about Li in earlier chapters, but other chapters were really solid and hard-hitting (the chapter on Hirschfeld’s strong connection to eugenics, in particular)
