Communists in Closets

Focusing on the intersection of sexuality and politics, this book delves into the experiences of gay, lesbian, and non-heterosexual individuals within the U.S. Communist Party from the 1930s to the 1990s. It uncovers the often-hidden narratives of these communities, examining how their identities shaped and were shaped by the political landscape of the time. Through a queer lens, it challenges traditional historical narratives and highlights the complexities of sexuality in a political context.
