" 'Do Gays exist?' is the provocative question behind Frank Browning's latest jaunt around the globe. Gay identity as we know--or believe we know it--in America, does not exist in the same for in other arts of the world. Why then do many gay Americans place such importance on building an identity around behavior, in contrast to the seemingly less identity-challenged people Browning turns the spotlight on in far off Naples and New Guinea?....Browning touches upon some intriguing areas of consideration. Among them are identity as a product of generational development, identity as a construct of internal and external boundaries and even going out as a gay parallel to Puritan ideas of redemption."Browning, Frank is the author of 'Queer Geography Journeys Toward a Sexual Self', published 1998 under ISBN 9780374525422 and ISBN 0374525420.
