Reviews

This is an exciting book that takes U.S. LGBTQ public history to the next level. Through careful historical research, the authors reveal how diverse spaces-urban gay neighborhoods, beaches, rural communes, legal jurisdictions, and more-have fostered or constrained an equally diverse population of LGBTQ Americans in the past and present. * Scott De Orio, Northwestern University

This is a very strong volume. Public historians committed to working with LGBTQ communities should consider getting their hands on all three volumes. Altogether, these books represent a stunning achievement in synthesizing cutting-edge scholarship on queer communities in the United States, placed within the very helpful context of thinking about historic preservation and interpretation. Many of the authors in Communities and Place are celebrated scholars with important monographs on queer history to their names. All of this combines to make a volume that is well worth your read, even if you already have consumed the essays in LGBTQ America. * Public Historian This is an exciting book that takes U.S. LGBTQ public history to the next level.
