Is it true that Germans...Are afraid of drinking tap water? Cycle in the nude at the weekend? And do have a sense of humour, after all? Tim Howe should know. He'd always dreamed about all things German. But never of becoming one. Until Brexit. Suddenly the race is on to bond with the burghers of Bavaria. Laugh as Tim bears the brunt of a beer-fuelled human pyramid, sees more than he should in the sauna, and attempts to smash the world cymbal-bashing record at his local Oktoberfest.

The Color of Desire
Author: Christopher Ewing
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501773380
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
The Color of Desire tells the story of how, in the aftermath of gay liberation, race played a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of queer, German politics. Focusing on the Federal Republic of Germany, Christopher Ewing charts both the entrenchment of racisms within white, queer scenes and the formation of new, antiracist movements that contested overlapping marginalizations. Far from being discrete political trajectories, racist and antiracist politics were closely connected, as activists worked across groups to develop their visions for queer politics. Ewing describes not only how AIDS workers, gay tourists, white lesbians, queer immigrants, and Black feminists were connected in unexpected ways but also how they developed contradictory concerns that comprised the full landscape of queer politics. Out of these connections, which often exceeded the bounds of the Federal Republic, arose new forms of queer fascism as well as their multiple, antiracist contestations. Both unsettled the appeals to national belonging, or "homonationalism," on which many white queer activists based their claims. Thus, the story of the making of homonationalism is also the story of its unmaking. The Color of Desire explains how the importance of racism to queer politics cannot—and should not—be understood without also attending to antiracism. Actors worked across different groups, making it difficult to chart separable political trajectories. At the same time, antiracist activists also used the fractures and openings in groups that were heavily invested in the logics of whiteness to formulate new, antiracist organizations and, albeit in constrained ways, shifted queer politics more generally.
