Description
Book SynopsisIn recent years, there has been substantial progress on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) civil rights in the United States. We are now, though, in a time of incredible political uncertainty for queer people. LGBTQ Social Movements provides an accessible introduction to mainstream LGBTQ movements in the U.S.
Trade Review"Adeptly synthesizing decades of research and writing, charting both major events and central dynamics, Lisa Stulberg offers a foundation for understanding LGBTQ movements that is at once accessible and complex, informative and lively."
Joshua Gamson, University of San Francisco "This is the book we have been waiting for - a comprehensive, concise, and engaging overview of the LGBT movement that is accessible not only to students and general readers, but scholars. Stulberg has managed to condense a vast amount of literature to provide the clearest, best organized, and most up-to-date review of the LGBT movement available."
Verta Taylor, University of California Santa Barbara
