Safe Space - Gay Neighborhood History and the Politics of Violence

Informationen zum Autor Christina B. Hanhardt Klappentext Christina B. Hanhardt is Associate Professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. "A wonderful book that bursts through the usual boundaries of gay history. Christina B. Hanhardt weaves class, race, and sexuality tightly together in her urban history of the last fifty years and, in doing so, succeeds in upsetting much of the conventional wisdom about the gay movement and gay politics. Her analysis implicitly calls for the revival of a multi-issue, intersectional queer politics that challenges injustice of every sort and sees them all as linked."--John D'Emilio, author of" The World Turned: Essays on Gay History, Politics, and Culture" Zusammenfassung A historical and ethnographic account of how LGBT activism for safe neighborhoods inadvertently dovetailed with and reinforced anticrime measures harmful to the poor and people of color.
