Routledge Intercultural Movements: American Gay in French

Explore the complex history of how American gay liberation was received in France during the period between the Stonewall events and the onset of the AIDS crisis. This scholarly work by Routledge examines the specific role that translations of American gay fiction played in shaping French cultural responses. By looking at key textual and paratextual dimensions of selected translations, the book investigates the French fascination with the American model of gay emancipation during the 1970s. It provides a deep look into how these intercultural movements can be understood through a translational lens. This text is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of LGBTQ+ movements, translation studies, and the cultural exchange between the United States and France.
