Sarah Schulman's writing is bold, provocative, and refreshingly
unrepentant. First published in 1994, My American History: Lesbian
and Gay Life During the Reagan and Bush Years combines critical
commentary with a rich and varied collection of news articles,
letters, interviews, and reports in which the author traces the
development of lesbian and gay politics in the U.S. In her coverage
of many tireless campaigns of activism and resistance, Sarah
Schulman documents a powerful political history that most people -
gay or straight - never knew happened. In her Preface to this
second edition, Urvashi Vaid argues for the continued relevance of
Schulman's writing to activism in the 21st century, particularly in
light of the resurgence of the right in American politics. Also
included is a selection of articles by Sarah Schulman for Womanews,
in their original print format, with illustrations by Alison
Bechdel. The book closes with an interview with the author,
conducted by Steven Thrasher, especially for this new edition. It
explores AIDS and homophobia during the Reagan/Bush administrations
and at the dawn of the Trump era. My American History is a
collection that gives voice to both the personal and political
struggles of feminist and lesbian and gay communities in the 1980s.
It is an important historical record that will enlighten and inform
activists, as well as academics of women's, gender and sexuality
studies, in the 21st century.
