What happens to a society that erases its own people?
For over 20 years, Peter De Waal AM has built Unfit for Publication — a monumental archive of Australian gay life spanning court records, police reports and newspaper accounts back to 1727. Now, in Hidden Lives, Silenced Histories, he turns these forgotten fragments into stories of his own telling.
These are stories of courage and fear, love and betrayal, resilience and loss — lives destroyed by prejudice in a country where homophobia was built into its very foundations.
Described as “groundbreaking” by historian Gary Wotherspoon, this book asks us not just to witness history, but to remember it.
