The book “O homossexual visto por entendidos” (“The Homosexual Seen by Experts”), by anthropologist Carmem Dora Guimarães, became a classic in studies on homosexuality in its first version: the master’s thesis defended by the author in the 1970s at the National Museum. It is a pioneering study that investigates the dilemmas involved in the constitution of identities within a certain segment of the male homosexual population living in Rio de Janeiro during the 1960s and 1970s. The book is part of the Homosexualities and Transsexualities series.
