Excerpt from Gli Amori Degli Uomini, Vol. 2 of 2: Saggio di una Etnologia dell'Amore L'amore, che pm si avvicina alla sua perfezione ideale, e quello che e consacrato da una libera scelta, da una reciproca simpatia; e il matrimonio che si fonda sopra l'amore e che non ha subito violenza di percosse o di lussurie improvvise, che non ha macchia fiscale di compra e vendita, e di certo quello che ha maggiori garanzie per essere felice e durevole.

Excerpt from Gli Amori Degli Uomini, Vol. 1: Saggio di una Etnologia Dell' Amore Amico lettore, tu che mi accompagni con benigna attenzione da molti anni nei miei studii sull'uomo, non prendere in mala parte l'andace volume che ti pre sento e che è una pagina delle più importanti della psicologia umana. Se ne guardi solo il titolo o ne leggi qualche pagina, potrà darsi che lo giudichi male; ma quando lo avrai letto tutto. Son sicuro che tu spargerai qualche lagrima cosi come io ho pianto nello scriverlo. Il celare le piaghe del cuore umano in nome del pudore può sembrare virtù ed è invece null'altro che ipocrisia o paura. La scienza moderna che ci prepara una morale più franca più vera e più sicura, non può appoggiarsi che sulla conoscenza intera e profonda di tutto l' uomo. Ecco perchè sperando in un uomo migliore., ho voluto mostrarti l'uomo del passato, e l'uomo di quest'oggi. Leggi dunque il mio libro senza malizia. Cosi come onestamente io l'ho pensato e l'ho scritto. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.

Science and Homosexualities is the first anthology by historians of science to examine European and American scientific research on sexual orientation since the coining of the word "homosexual" almost 150 years ago. This collection is particularly timely given the enormous scientific and popular interest in biological studies of homosexuality, and the importance given such studies in current legal, legislative and cultural debates concerning gay civil rights. However, scientific and popular literature discussing the biology of sexual orientation have been short-sighted in representing it as objective, new scientific work. This volume demonstrates that the quest for the biological "cause" of homosexuality and other sexualities is as old as the term itself. These essays explore the active role experimental subjects played in shaping scientific theories of homosexuality and cultural perceptions of sexuality and sexual identity. Finally this anthology studies the way in which this doctor-patient interaction shaped not only scientific theories of homosexuality, but also cultural perceptions and self-identities as well.

Dreger, Anne Fausto-Sterling, Margaret Gibson, Stephanie Kenen, Hubert Kennedy, Harry Oosterhuis, James Steakley, Richard Pillard, Jennifer Terry
