Todd Shepard’s 2017 book, Sex, France, and Arab Men, 1962–1979 (University of Chicago Press), investigates two historical phenomena not typically thought together: the aftermath of the Algerian war for independence and the movement for sexual revolution in France. His analyses, including discussions of the racist and sexist rhetoric within leftist and gay politics in France in the 1960s and ‘70s, provide a framework for thinking sexual politics against the backdrop of mid-century global decolonial movements.The Institute for Network Cooperation (INC) engages historian Todd Shepard in a consideration of the historical and contemporary relevance of his research.
