Description
The Gay Movement: A Critical Reappraisal By Martin Duberman, published by University of California Press in 2020. Over the past fifty years, significant progress has been made towards greater acceptance and inclusion of LGBTQ individuals in the United States and beyond. However, this progress has often been more incremental than transformative. In this critical book, renowned historian and social-justice activist Martin Duberman examines the early gay movement and its progressive vision for society, arguing that the left has frequently failed to fully embrace the potential for queer-driven social change. Duberman revisits the history of the gay movement, acknowledging both the elimination of discriminatory policies and the costs associated with achieving more normative inclusion. He identifies fault lines within and beyond the movements of the past and today, offering a nuanced analysis that is both informative and thought-provoking. Ultimately, Duberman urges readers to learn from this history in order to fight for a truly inclusive and expansive society.
