Description

Memories of a Gay Catholic Boyhood is John D'Emilio's coming-of-age story in which he takes readers from his working-class Bronx neighborhood and Columbia University to New York's hidden gay male subculture and the political and social upheavals of the late 1960s.

John D'Emilio is one of the leading historians of his generation and a pioneering figure in the field of LGBTQ history. At times his life has been seemingly at odds with his upbringing. Now available in paperback alongside a sequel that recounts his career as a public historian, activist, and academic, Memories of a Gay Catholic Boyhood is D'Emilio's coming-of-age story in which he takes readers from his working-class Bronx neighborhood to an elite Jesuit high school in Manhattan to Columbia University and the political and social upheavals of the late 1960s. He shares his personal experiences of growing up in a conservative, tight-knit, multigenerational family, and how he went from considering entering the priesthood to losing his faith and coming to terms with his same-sex desires. Intimate and honest, D'Emilio outlines his complicated relationship with his family while showing how his passion for activism influenced his decision to use research, writing, and teaching to build a strong LGBTQ movement.
