Recenzii

"...essays are fascinatingly researched and engagingly written; the depth of detail here is simply splendid...this collection of essays illuminates how the complicated matrix of gender, race, class (and to some extent mobility, both social and physical) has come into play in the formation of gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities." -- The Lavender Salon Reader
"This rich and varied collection will allow teachers of social history and of the twentieth-century United States to incorporate material on sexual identity more easily into their courses." -- John D'Emilio, The Journal of American History
"The essays in Creating a Place for Ourselves provide important and inspirational building blocks in the ever-expanding field of lesbian, gay, and bisexual community studies." -- Lesbian Review of Books
