500 "Originally published in India in 2015 by HarperCollins
Publishers India Limited as No One Else."
520 A revelatory memoir about sex, oppression, and the
universal struggle for justice by the executive director
of UNAIDS describes his personal quest for love and self-
respect as a gay youth in mid-twentieth-century India and
at Harvard.
520 "From his time as a child in 1960s India, Siddharth Dube
knew that he was different. Reckoning with his femininity
and sexuality--and his intellect--would send him on a
lifelong journey of discovery: from Harvard classrooms to
unsafe cruising sites; from ivory-tower think-tanks to
shantytowns; from halls of power at the UN and the World
Bank to jail cells where sexual outcasts were brutalized.
Coming of age in the earliest days of AIDS, Dube was at
the front lines when that disease made rights for gay men
and for sex workers a matter of basic survival, pushing to
decriminalize same-sex relations and sex work in India,
both similarly outlawed dating back to British colonial
rule. (His efforts would contribute to the repeal of
Section 377 in 2018.) He became a trenchant critic of the
United States' imposition of its cruel anti-prostitution
policies on developing countries--an effort legitimized by
leading American feminists and would-be do-gooders--
warning that this was a twenty-first-century replay of the
moralistic Victorian-era campaigns that had spawned
endless persecution of countless women, men, and trans
individuals the world over. Profound, ferocious, and
luminously written, [this book] is both a personal and
political journey, weaving Dube's own quest for love and
self-respect with unforgettable portrayals of the
struggles of some of the world's most oppressed people,
those reviled and cast out for their sexuality. Informed
by a lifetime of scholarship and introspection, it is
essential reading on the global debates over sexuality,
gender expression, and securing human rights and social
justice in a world distorted by inequality and right-wing
ascendancy."--Dust jacket.
