Judy Grahn, Another Mother Tonaue, xi. Many people have felt similar needs for information about gays and lesbians, whether for scholarly research or to find out more about themselves or others. Often they have turned to libraries to fulfill these needs. This collection of bibliographies is mg.ant to be a guide to research ingay and lesbian studies. a shortcut to finding informationon self- identified homosexuals. gays, and lesbians. as wellas others who have engaged in homosexual behavior, suchas bisexuals. I have also included several workson the disease AIDS, since it has mostly affected gay men in this countryover the past decade. Gay and lesbian studies is a relativelyyoung field of scholarship, especially in academic circles. In "Gay Studies and Men's Studies." Walter L. hilliams traces the development of gay studies from Magnus Hirschfeld's Institutefor Sexual Research in early 20th century Berlin. He says that "by the early 1980's, gay and lesbian scholarship had emergedas established fields within several disciplines (1)." Many academic and professional associationsnow have gay/lesbian caucuses, such as the kmerican Psychological Association. the Modern Language Association, and the Committeeon Lesbian and Gay History. Williams feels that gay studies should be included in men's studies programs. justas lesbian studies is s 2 now often a part of women's studies. He also calls for an interdisciplinary annual review journal, international conferences. and a major research center for gay studies. According to Margaret Cruikshank, lesbian studies has been an outgrowth of women's studies. She defines it as both thP grassroots cultural work which tells us who we are and the more formally organized courses on lesbianism which now exist in a few women's studies programs and in women's centers (2). She broadens lesbian studies to include both books about lesbians and those with a pronounced lesbian perspective. There is some difficulty in defining gay and lesbian studies, partly due to the current debate between essentialism and social constructionism, which are alternative theories of homosexuality, over whc gays and lesbians exactly are. Essentialists feel that homosexuals have always existed. and stress their similarities as they research these people through history. Meanwh:le, constructionists stress the differences between modern homosexuals and those who have engaged in same-sex behavior earlier (pre-19th century). and between homosexuals in different cultures today. If homosexuals from outside our culture are not really gay and lesbian, are they still sobjects for research in gay and lesbian studies? Will Roscoe's article contains a great summary of the various definitions of gay and 1-sbian studies. He argues that a mult!dimensional model of sociosexual specialization is needed, one which uses sexuality, identity of "differentness." gender status, social role. economic role. and spiritualityas components of gay and lesbian identity. He says
