Description:
"This collection offers a broad range of perspectives on service in the US military by lesbian and gay people. The editors, both sociologists, attempt to provide a "balanced and scholarly presentation" that sets out the historical and cultural context and explores the dimensions of the current debates... The editors' introduction and conclusion are clear and helpful. The volume is a must for collections in military science and organization, military history, and gender studies, and is a good option for collections in social sciences, including public policy. General readers, upper-division undergraduates, and above." --J. A. Brown, Choice "[T]he collection edited by Wilbur J. Scott and Sandra Carson Stanley includes a wide range of opinions as well as expertise. The book is divided into five parts, each of which examinees a distinct aspect of the debate... It is clear that the editors worked hard to assemble a variety of perspectives... [T]his volume constitutes an important contribution." --Melissa S. Herbert, Contemporary Sociology "The battle over President Clinton's desire to lift the regulatory ban on homosexuals in the military was followed by a series of social science anthologies on that debate. The first was Gays and Lesbians in the Military, which was also the most sociological and presented the broadest range of opinion." --David R. Segal, Sociological Forum
