	All Books by Susan Raffo - Editor of : Queerly Classed Paperback - 280 pages (March 1997) South End Pr; ISBN: 0896085619 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "Gay and lesbian cultures have learned how to talk--and talk and talk and talk--about sex; no aspect of erotic life is too taboo for discussion. Issues of class and economics, however, have been so closeted that they are rarely discussed. Queerly Classed breaks through this door with almost two dozen personal and critical essays that explore the intersections between class and alternative sexual identity. Queerly Classed is neither dogmatic nor preachy, but is political in the best sense of the word: it opens both minds and hearts, encouraging people to think about these difficult issues in a clearheaded, honest way."

	All Books by Rita Reed - Author of : Growing up Gay: the Sorrows and Joys of Gay and Lesbian Adolescence Paperback - 143 pages (November 1997) W.W. Norton & Company; ISBN: 0393316599 "GLBT Studies; Through photographs and their own words, a young man and a young woman relate their experiences growing up homosexual in America's heartland. Adolescence, painful enough for everyone, is all the more so for these young people who feel their differences acutely at a time when fitting in and belonging are so important. Being part of a minority that is sometimes despised makes their lives excruciating. Rita Reed, out of a concern over the high rate of suicide among gay and lesbian teens, and convinced that the stories of Amy and Jamie would help others feel less isolated, gained the trust of these two young people and was allowed into their developing lives. Reed's photographs captured moments from the pain of rejection to the joys of first love; from the collapse of self-confidence to the understanding that they were not alone and that in spite of societal prejudices, they were loved and respected. These photographs, intimate, moving, and generous, establish a level of understanding difficult to achieve with words alone." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

	All Books by Ronni L. Sanlo - Author of : Working with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender College Students Hardcover - 488 pages (May 1998) Greenwood Publishing Group; ISBN: 0313302278 "GLBT Studies; This handbook is intended for faculty and administrators who wish to create a welcoming and safe environment for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students on our campuses. It will help readers, even those who may struggle personally with understanding non-heterosexual identities, gain a clearer understanding of the important issues facing these students. While some students arrive on campus with full clarity about their sexual identities, others may just be discovering their orientations while in our institutions. It is difficult to provide the attention LGBT students need if we do not understand the crises affecting them or how to address them. Each chapter analyzes specific issues affecting these students and offers recommendations or suggestions for change. Some of the areas discussed include: identity development theories, residence halls, career planning, health and counseling centers, HIV/AIDS, and student leadership and organizational development. Non-heterosexual faculty and staff may also find this work useful as they attempt to discover themselves in academic and educational literature." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
