Anthropology Today [from the library of Harry Hay]

Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1962. viii, 481p. paperback, with the telltale smoke stains that resulted from a fire at Hay's residence. Hay has profusely underlined some portions related to sexuality, and added some minor marginal notations in his distinctive handwriting. On page 336, for example, he writes that "Family ties, or lack of them - familial clan or Society memberships, or lack of them would be of vital importance to Berdache story." (Hay was among those who later popularized the term "Two-Spirit" to replace the term Berdache, which many found offensive). Also included are four additional books from Hay's library, all of which were (truncated) saved by Jerry "the Faerie" Barbier until his death. The other books have the same smoke damage but do not appear to have any marginalia. (Inventory #: 326027)
