David M. Halperin is Professor of Literature at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The founding editor of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, he is the author of One Hundred Years of Homosexuality, which Outweek called `the single most important contribution to the interpretation of gay history in nearly a decade.'

The acclaimed author of One Hundred Years of Homosexuality offers an uncompromising and impassioned defense of the late French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault as a galvanizing thinker whose career as a theorist and activist will continue to serve as a model for other gay intellectuals, activists, and scholars.
