Winner, 2021 Glenda Laws Award given by the American Association of
Geographers The first lesbian and queer historical geography of New
York City Over the past few decades, rapid gentrification in New
York City has led to the disappearance of many lesbian and queer
spaces, displacing some of the most marginalized members of the
LGBTQ+ community. In A Queer New York, Jen Jack Gieseking
highlights the historic significance of these spaces, mapping the
political, economic, and geographic dispossession of an important,
thriving community that once called certain New York neighborhoods
home. Focusing on well-known neighborhoods like Greenwich Village,
Park Slope, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Crown Heights, Gieseking shows
how lesbian and queer neighborhoods have folded under the
capitalist influence of white, wealthy gentrifiers who have
ultimately failed to make room for them. Nevertheless, they
highlight the ways lesbian and queer communities have succeeded in
carving out spaces-and lives-in a city that has consistently pushed
its most vulnerable citizens away. Beautifully written, A Queer New
York is an eye-opening account of how lesbians and queers have
survived in the face of twenty-first century gentrification and
urban development.
