A rich and definitive history of the gay rights movement's West Coast origins

Supplies English-language readers with a crucial missing link in Nietzsche's development by reproducing the text of a lecture series delivered by the young philosopher. This work is complete with Nietzsche's own sidenotes and philological citations, and is accompanied by a prologue, an introductory essay, commentary on the lectures, and more.

Offers activists, queer scholars, feminists, and immigration scholars productive tools for theorizing political efficacy.
