Origins -- Cruising and the city, part 1 -- Blacklists and address books : codes, cruising, and the early twentieth century -- Cruising the '70s -- The '80s : a turning point -- Cruising computers -- Interlude -- Back outside -- Cruising and the city, part 2 -- Russia, Uganda, and cruising the world -- Cruising Aztlán -- The magic.. - Acclaimed author Alex Espinoza takes readers on an uncensored journey through the underground, to reveal the timeless art of cruising. Combining historical research and oral history with his own personal experience, Espinoza examines the political and cultural forces behind this radical pastime. From Greek antiquity to the notorious Molly houses of 18th century England, the raucous 1970s to the algorithms of Grindr, Oscar Wilde to George Michael, cruising remains at once a reclamation of public space and the creation of its own unique locale--one in which men of all races and classes interact, even in the shadow of repressive governments.
