Out and Proud in Chicago takes readers through the long and rich history of the city's LGBT community. Lavishly illustrated with color and black-and white-photographs, the book draws on a wealth of scholarly, historical, and journalistic sources. Individual sections cover the early days of the 1800s to World War II, the challenging community-building years from World War II to the 1960s, the era of gay liberation and AIDS from the 1970s to the 1990s, and on to the city's vital, post-liberation present.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The histories of gay New York, gay Los Angeles, gay San Francisco, and even gay Philadelphia have been recounted in recent books. With this lush, impeccably designed coffee-table collection of essays and art, Chicago makes it to the lavender map." --Richard Labonte "A vivid snapshot for a generation stuck on thinking LGBT history began with those rainbow-ringed pylons lining North Halsted Street." --Time Out Chicago "Out and Proud in Chicago rewards every type of reader... At last, Chicago gets (and deserves) its long-neglected due as the city where LGBT life flourished beyond the footlights." --James V. Carmichael, Jr, Professor, Department of Library and Information Studies, School of Information, UNC Greensboro "I dare say editor Tracy Baim and a string of contributors achieved far more than they set out to do. They produced a well-crafted perspective and record of Chicago's gay history and culture and a model for achieving such a work for any significant segment of the city's population." --Kenan Heise, Chicago author and journalist
