QUEER AMERICA: A People’s GLBT History of the United States

Finally, the first comprehensive survey of 20th century GLBT US history aimed at the general reader. More than simply a story of the struggle for “rights,” this is a fascinating blend of chronological narrative, reference book, and handbook of people, topics and issues. Each chapter begins with a short vignette, focusing on one or more people who illustrate a significant point or event in US GLBT history. Nine important debates are included, one at the end of each chapter. These debates might be among historians and other scholars, within the GLBT community itself, or one engaging the wider “public.” With an extensive bibliography, print and film resources list, and comprehensive index.
