Ultimately, KISS' 1987 album, "Crazy Nights," was a failure. It did not provide the expected hits in the U.S. or lead to a blockbuster sold-out tour. While the album may have missed the mark, like "The Elder," it wasn't from a lack of creative energy and effort by the band. However, even in failure, the "Crazy Nights" era served as a catalyst that would see the band inevitably start to surrender to their past; and to a certain extent embrace it. By the end of the tour, the trend of loading their live sets with 1980's material had been reversed. Neglected classics such as "Strutter," "Calling Dr. Love," and even "I Was Made For Lovin' You," started returning... A celebration of the album's 30th anniversary, this work digs into the album through a series of exclusive interviews with those who participated in its creation and promotion.

Описание: A groundbreaking twentieth-century history of transgender children With transgender rights front and center in American politics, media, and culture, the pervasive myth still exists that today\u2019s transgender children are a brand new generation—pioneers in a field of new obstacles and hurdles. Histories of the Transgender Child shatters this myth, uncovering a previously unknown twentieth-century history when transgender children not only existed but preexisted the term transgender and its predecessors, playing a central role in the medicalization of trans people, and all sex and gender.Beginning with the early 1900s when children with \u201cambiguous\u201d sex first sought medical attention, to the 1930s when transgender people began to seek out doctors involved in altering children\u2019s sex, to the invention of the category gender, and finally the 1960s and \u201970s when, as the field institutionalized, transgender children began to take hormones, change their names, and even access gender confirmation, Julian Gill-Peterson reconstructs the medicalization and racialization of children\u2019s bodies. Throughout, they foreground the racial history of medicine that excludes black and trans of color children through the concept of gender\u2019s plasticity, placing race at the center of their analysis and at the center of transgender studies.Until now, little has been known about early transgender history and life and its relevance to children. Using a wealth of archival research from hospitals and clinics, including incredible personal letters from children to doctors, as well as scientific and medical literature, this book reaches back to the first half of the twentieth century—a time when the category transgender was not available but surely existed, in the lives of children and parents.
