lylah 's review for:
The Stonewall Reader
by The New York Public Library
Genuinely sad to have finished this one. I love the concept here—there are so many different stories people tell about what really happened at the Stonewall Riots, so the NYPL has collected a bunch of excerpts from different writers and interviews to formulate a good picture of what the era was like for gay people, the gay experience, the actual events of Stonewall, and of course, the aftermath. This is the best kind of collection, that lets you decide for yourself what could really have happened in light of so many inconsistencies, and there’s a strong emphasis on hearing voices from people of color and other groups who had extra hurdles of discrimination. I’ll definitely be going back to the excerpt sources to read more.
