The Stonewall Reader by The New York Public Library

4.0

emotional informative inspiring medium-paced

The Stonewall Reader provides a wide variety of LGBTQ experiences prior to Stonewall, during Stonewall, and the years afterward. The perspectives are a mix of oral history interviews, primary sources from the era, and more contemporary reflections of what the era was like. I really liked that The Stonewall Reader included authors that reflected multiple lenses of diversity such as race, class, and gender. Learning more about LGBTQ history from own-voices perspectives was a really powerful experience.
