Description
The Secret Public: How LGBTQ Performers Shaped Popular Culture (1955-1979)
A monumental history of the LGBTQ influence on popular culture, from the award-winning author, Jon Savage. This electrifying look at key moments in music and entertainment history between 1955 and 1979 reveals how gay culture moved from the margins to the mainstream, changing the face of pop forever.
The book is a searching examination of the fortitude and resilience of the gay community through the lens of popular music and culture, reflecting on the freedom found in divergence from the norm and the need to be vigilant against those seeking to roll back the rights of marginalised groups.
