Abstract
Germany has a rich and unique history of queer culture and activism. It was the birthplace of the word "Homosexualität" and the site of the first gay rights movement, queer periodicals, and trans movement. The country has also seen a surge in scholarship on queer German history, with recent books by Katie Sutton and Jennifer Evans. Sutton's book provides a comprehensive overview of sexuality in Germany from the 1500s to the present, arguing that it is an integral part of German national history. Evans, on the other hand, explores the concept of "queer kinship" as a way to understand queer history beyond identity categories. Both authors raise important questions about the purpose and significance of doing queer history today. [Extracted from the article]
