Be on the look out for the release of Same-Sex Desire and Love in Greco-Roman Antiquity and in the Classical Tradition of the West along with a new special issue of The Journal of Homosexuality.

From Chronicle.com:

A disputed volume on homosexuality in the classical world will be published after all, Haworth Press announced on Tuesday, and the controversial essay that almost sank the book will also be published, but in a different venue.

Late last month, the press announced the cancellation of Same-Sex Desire and Love in Greco-Roman Antiquity and in the Classical Tradition of the West, an edited volume that had been scheduled for publication in November. (It was to have been published simultaneously as a special issue of The Journal of Homosexuality, which is also published by Haworth.) The press scratched the book after conservative activists objected to one of its 15 essays, which they saw as a defense of pederasty in present-day society (The Chronicle, September 26).

Dr. Bruce Rind’s chapter titled “Pederasty: An Integration of Cross-Cultural, Cross-Species, and Empirical Data” will not be included in Same-Sex Desire and Love in Greco-Roman Antiquity and in the Classical Tradition of the West.
