Reviews
"Mapping the field of gayborhood studies, this volume is a masterful one-of-a kind collection that invites readers to rethink what they know about queer communities. The rich contributions from a wide range of scholars fill an important niche and makes it a must-read. A wonderful accomplishment. The Gayborhood is a valuable contribution to the study of gay neighborhoods, helping to map the growing body of scholarship on LGBT-identified localities. The book's chapters could be assigned for undergraduate or graduate courses in sexualities, LGBT studies, and urban research. The book will be particularly helpful for scholars who study queer life, the intersection of sexuality and race, and space. The Gayborhood: From Sexual Liberation to Cosmopolitan Spectacle, edited by Christopher T. Conner and Daniel Okamura, is a provocative collection of essays that collectively provide an outstanding overview of the historical evolution of the sociology on gay urban enclaves. The contributions push the debate beyond the simplistic question of ""are queer urban spaces disappearing?"" to explore many social, technological, and cultural forces reshaping them. Most important, the volume challenges us to think more seriously about the many ways that race, class, and gender stratification are driving change in contemporary queer urban communities. The essays are wonderfully engaging and well written, and the collection is a welcome contribution to the fields of urban sociology and the sociology of sexualities."
