Description
When Brooklyn Was Queer: A History is a groundbreaking exploration of the LGBT history of Brooklyn, from the mid-19th century to the present day. This book uncovers the vibrant and forgotten queer culture of Brooklyn, revealing a rich and diverse history that has been systematically erased.
Through intimate and evocative prose, the author sheds new light on the fundamental questions of what history is, who tells it, and how we can only make sense of ourselves through its retelling. By examining the stories of the incredible people who created Brooklyn's diverse neighborhoods and cultures, this book brings Brooklyn's queer past to life.
By uncovering the hidden history of Brooklyn's queer community, this book claims its place as a modern and important work of non-fiction, shedding new light on the city's formation and its connection to the stories of its diverse inhabitants.
