# The Queer Art of History

The Queer Art of History: Queer Kinship After Fascism is a non-fiction book by Jennifer V. Evans. Published in 2023 by Duke University Press, it details the history of the LGBTQ+ movement in post World War II Germany.

## Reception

The Queer Art of History was praised by reviewers for questions and challenges they felt it posed to the readers. They also praised the way they felt that Evans looked at history through a non-traditional lens of "queer kinship", in a manner German History described as "tackl[ing] difficult conversations away from a simple act of archival recovery". Journal of the History of Sexuality specifically cited Evans's focus on "queer joy" and "the emancipatory potential of queer imagination" as its strength when compared to other history books dealing with the same topics.
Sébastien Tremblay, in German History, connected The Queer Art of History to other 2023 Germany LGBTQ+ history books written by authors such as Andrea Rottmann, Christopher Ewing, Benno Gammerl, and Teresa Tammer, describing them all as part of a "pivotal turn" which he partially credits to Evans's older work.
# Bagasara-Ghed

Bagasara-Ghed, also known as Bagasara (Sil), is a village in Mangarol Taluka of Junagadh district, Gujarat, India. Bagasra-Ghed lies thirty-four miles to the south-west of Junagadh.

## History

It appears from the inscription in the temple of the Koteshvar Mahadev at Kodinar that in 1272 (Samvat 1328) this village was under the rule of Visaladeva, the Vaghela king of Anhilwad Patan, the then lord paramount of Gujarat, and that he granted it to a dependent of his named Nana, a Nagar Brahmin, who also held a seventh share in the revenue of Mangrol.
There is a paliya (memorial stone) in the grain-yard at Bagasara dated 1392 (Samvat 1448) from which it seems that Pato, son of Samo, was slain in battle at Bagasara in the victorious reign of Mokalasimha, the Chudasama ruler of Junagadh. Later paliyas bear the names of the Sultans of Gujarat Sultanate of Ahmedabad as being lords-paramount here. All these paliyas bear the name Bagasara. Afterwards in 1472 (Samvat 1528), the Bagasra Chovisi was granted in jagir to Bhupatsingh, son of Mandalika III, the last Chudasama ruler of Junagadh. The descendants of this Bhupatsingh, who are called Raizadas, are still living in certain villages near Keshod.
It was a subdivision under Sil mahal during British period.

## Agriculture

The village lands form part of the huge marsh called the Ghed and are inundated in the rainy season. Kase grass grows spontaneously in the Ghed; the green grass is cut and given to cattle to eat; when the grass seeds, the seed or grain is collected and called kasaiya and is eaten by the residents of the Ghed villages. As it is not considered a grain it is eaten by Hindus on fast days. This grass has bulbous roots and the bulbs are black and the size of small potatoes. They are also cut up and the husk removed and then boiled and eaten. These bulbs are called lodh when green and bid when dry. Thegi or Thek, Cyperus jemenicus, a sedge, is also found in the Ghed, and in the, sand hills on tho sea coast. There are thousands of lotus plants in the Ghed. The pods of the lotus are called kumnas and they contain small white seeds which are made into bread and eaten by the poorer classes and also by the rich on fast days. The gram grown in the Ghed is specially famous both for its excellent flavour, and because it is very easily cooked. It is called Ghedia chana or Ghedia gram.

## Demographics

The population of Bagasara consists chiefly of Mers, Ghedia Kolis, Memons, Khojas, Lohanas, Girnar Brahmins, and Sindhis.
