"Martin Duberman is a national treasure." -Masha Gessen, The New
Yorker The past fifty years have seen significant shifts in
attitudes toward LGBTQ people and wider acceptance of them in the
United States and the West. Yet the extent of this progress, argues
Martin Duberman, has been more broad and conservative than deep and
transformative. One of the most renowned historians of the American
left and the LGBTQ movement, as well as a pioneering social-justice
activist, Duberman reviews the half century since Stonewall with an
immediacy and rigor that informs and energizes. He revisits the
early gay movement and its progressive vision for society and puts
the left on notice as failing time and again to embrace the queer
potential for social transformation. Acknowledging the elimination
of some of the most discriminatory policies that plagued earlier
generations, he takes note of the cost-the sidelining of radical
goals on the way to achieving more normative inclusion.
Illuminating the fault lines both within and beyond the movements
of the past and today, this critical book is also hopeful: Duberman
urges us to learn from this history to fight for a truly inclusive
and expansive society.
