Autorentext

Klappentext
In Private Affairs, Phillip Brian Harper explores the social and cultural significance of the private, proposing that, far from a universal right, privacy is limited by one's racial-and sexual-minority status. Ranging across cinema, literature, sculpture, and lived encounters-from Rodin's The Kiss to Jenny Livingston's Paris is Burning-Private Affairs demonstrates how the very concept of privacy creates personal and sociopolitical hierarchies in contemporary America.

Zusammenfassung
One of a series which promotes scholarship about the experiences of sexual minorities, this book explores the social and cultural significance of the private. The author proposes that, far from a universal right, privacy is limited by one's racial - and sexual - minority status.
