A review by jdrummond
A Queer History of the United States by Michael Bronski

4.0

This book serves a good primer on looking at the history of America within the context of the queer community. As someone who has little familiarity with this community and it’s role in society, many parts of this book were enlightening, especially in the ways that sexuality has influenced our society and been influenced by society, as well.

It is definitely a gloss over some major points, with obvious holes, but it’s a start. And it’s full of references to further readings, if you feel like you’d like learn more.

I look forward to reading more of this series to help broaden my context of what constitutes American History.
