Policing Same-Sex Relations in Eighteenth-Century Paris: Archival Voices from 1785 ed. by Jeffrey Merrick (review)
Meet Me in Pervert Park: Epistemology, Positionality, and Praxis in the Queer History of Policing and the Law
Just a stone's throw from the campus of the university in Kingston, Ontario, where I teach, is a small park. Hugging a rocky stretch of Lake Ontario shoreline, Macdonald Park, named after Canada's first prime minister, is better known by locals as “Pervert Park.” Since at least World War II, Pervert Park has been the primary cruising ground in Kingston for men searching for sex with other men, a meeting place for a mix of mostly working-class men…

"Hell Witches in Toronto": Notes on Lesbian Visibility in Early-Twentieth-Century Canada
Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
Without Working?”: Capitalism, Urban Culture, and Gay History
Within the gay/lesbian historiography, there has been a long-running debate over the relative roles played by capitalism and urban culture in the historical formation of gay and lesbian identities and communities. The author argues that in recent years historians have come to favor the urban, both as a framework for inquiry and as an explanatory device. In view of this historiographical tilt toward the urban, the author goes on to suggest some wa…
Respect Your Elders, Know Your Past: History and the Queer Theorists
Queer Musings on Masculinity and History
NOT LONG AFTER I first met Ed Jackson, an activist whose political roots go back to the early days of the gay liberation movement in Canada, he drew my attention to an article that appeared in the very first issue of what was then called Labour/he Travailleur. Published in 1976, To the Dartmouth Station: A Worker's Eye View of Labour History was meant to be a humorous parody of a conversation between a dockworker and a construction worker about l…
'Horrible Temptations': Sex, Men, and Working-Class Male Youth in Urban Ontario, 1890-1935
Intended as a contribution to the emerging field of Canadian lesbian and gay social history, this article explores sexual relations between boys and men in early twentieth-century urban Ontario. It is argued that sexual relations between boys and men were characterized by both danger and desire. Based primarily on criminal court records, the paper details the social and spatial settings of sexual danger and sexual possibility for boys. Exploring …

Sex, Court Records, and Labour History
COURT RECORDS have proven valuable in researching and writing the history of numerous aspects of the past. Recently, feminist historians have used court records to explore a variety of subjects, including the history of women's crime and the historical meanings and experience of rape and heterosexual conflict Court records are also the primary source I have used to document the making of homosexual subcultures and identities in turn-of-the-centur…

The Regulation of Desire: Sexuality in Canada
Canadian women's studies programmes and the Canadian politicaleconomy tradition have for the most part kept their ears firmly plugged to the enormous growth of interest in the history of sexuality which has taken place in England, the United States and Western Europe over the last decade. Particularly in the American case, the history of sexuality occupies a central place in contemporary women's history and feminist political debates. The emergen…
Rough Work and Rugged Men: The Social Construction of Masculinity in Working-Class History
This paper uses two recent books in Canadian labour history, Craig Heron's Working in Steel and Ian Radforth's Bushworkers and Bosses, to briefly review the place of masculinity in working-class history. The author suggests that while Heron and Radforlh introduce masculinity into their studies, they do not fully develop all of its meanings and functions. Drawing upon the literature on the social construction of work, gender, and sexuality, the pa…
