Descripción

Christina B. Hanhardt delves into the complex interplay between gay neighborhoods and the politics of violence in this insightful examination of LGBTQ+ history. From the 1970s onward, efforts to combat street violence have been a pivotal concern for lesbian and gay activists. Hanhardt meticulously traces how these safety endeavors have influenced both community dynamics and broader societal perceptions of LGBTQ+ spaces.

Through a detailed analysis, the author reveals the transformation of urban landscapes as they became both sanctuaries and battlegrounds for identity and resistance. The book nuances the narrative of safety, exploring the intersections of race, class, and sexuality within the fight against violence. By contextualizing these historical developments, Hanhardt illuminates the ongoing struggle for recognition and safety, encouraging readers to reflect on the past while considering the future of queer spaces in America.
