Written in an accessible style, approaches range from the narrative to the strictly analytical. Tempo frequently ventures outside the acknowledged canon to reflect the diversity of the modern music scene. Issues feature interviews with leading composers, a tabulated news section, and lively and wide-ranging reviews of recent recordings, books and first performances around the world.

Journal of Global History, Volume 11 Issue 02
| Journal of Global History addresses the main problems of global change over time, together with the diverse histories of globalization. It also examines counter-currents to globalization, including those that have structured other spatial units. The journal seeks to transcend the dichotomy between 'the West and the rest', straddle traditional regional boundaries, relate material to cultural and political history, and overcome thematic fragmentation in historiography. The journal also acts as a forum for interdisciplinary conversations across a wide variety of social and natural sciences. '... The JGH is a publication of the first water.' Prof. Jerry Bentley, University of Hawai'i '... the Journal has been a hugely welcome addition and a valuable focus for what is still a protean field.' Dr John Darwin, University of Oxford '... what a great journal this is, and how very quickly and deservedly it has established itself.' Prof. Linda Colley, Princeton University '... many articles do indeed represent cutting-edge research, particularly on empires and commodities, but also on nationalism and religion.' Prof. Heather Streets, Washington State University '...this is a splendid publication: extensive in coverage, refreshing in approach, and reflective of some of the significant achievements and trends in the study of history.' Prof. Akira Iriye, Harvard University |  |

Sex, Shame and West German Gay Liberation *
<span class="paragraphSection"><div class="boxTitle">Abstract</div>This article contributes to a reassessment of gay liberation by focusing on how matters of sex and desire featured in the gay press and the gay movement in 1970s West Germany. Gay liberation has often been viewed through an affirmative lens, contrasted favourably with the supposed shame-filled conformism of the postwar homophile movement. I problematize this perspective by analysing ambivalence about homosexual desire and gay (male) sexual practice, both in the pages of the commercial gay press and in gay activist publications. Using case studies of intergenerational desire—or ‘paedophilia’—and sado-masochism, I question the extent to which the 1970s saw a transition towards the ideal of mutual, reciprocal relationships. In so doing, I argue that historians of homosexual politics should not only analyse questions of ideology and strategy but also sex, desire and ambivalence about self and society. Concluding through a consideration of the interrelationship between ‘pride’ and ‘shame’, this article shows that gay liberation was anything but a mere hedonistic interlude.</span>

Culture and Colonial Medicine: Smallpox in Abeokuta, Western Nigeria
<span class="paragraphSection"><div class="boxTitle">Summary</div>This article re-examines the social history of smallpox in Africa and challenges in part the celebratory narrative assigning credit to colonial medicine and the World Health Organization (WHO) for the eradication of the disease. By tracing local conceptions of smallpox and its social and political implications in Abeokuta, Western Nigeria, this study renders a history of smallpox from the perspective of the lived experience of colonial subjects. It shows that while colonial eradication projects and WHO’s global eradication were important factors in eradication, they were not singularly transformative contributions. In doing so, this analysis departs from conventional narratives of smallpox, and accounts for the continuance of smallpox deities and rituals despite its medical eradication.</span>
