Mother Camp: Female Impersonators in America af Esther Newton

An interesting anthropological consideration of drag queens in the 1960s. A lot of it the information is dated, but it's interesting to see what parts continue to linger, particularly in the perceived distinctions made between the queens themselves.

Margaret Mead Made Me Gay : Personal Essays, Public… af Esther Newton

Esther Newton really is amazing. I came to her work through the Cherry Grove, Fire Island history, and was so excited that I dug out some of her other anthropology work. This great set of essays lays out her approaches and thinking in anthropology and other matters.

Cherry Grove, Fire Island : Sixty Years in… af Esther Newton

One of my favorite histories; anthropological and using significant oral history. A snapshot of gay/lesbian 20th century history, as well as a great history of 'place'.
