ACTUELLEMENT ÉPUISÉ

We Are Everywhere : Protest, Power, and Pride in the History of Queer Liberation by Leighton Brown and Matthew Riemer (2019, Hardcover)

Have pride in history. A rich and sweeping photographic history of the Queer Liberation Movement, from the creators and curators of the massively popular Instagram account LGBT History. "If you think the fight for justice and equality only began in the streets outside Stonewall, with brave patrons of a bar fighting back, you need to read We Are Everywhere right now."-Anderson Cooper Through the lenses of protest, power, and pride, We Are Everywhere is an essential and empowering introduction to the history of the fight for queer liberation. Combining exhaustively researched narrative with meticulously curated photographs, the book traces queer activism from its roots in late-nineteenth-century Europe-long before the pivotal Stonewall Riots of 1969-to the gender warriors leading the charge today. Featuring more than 300 images from more than seventy photographers and twenty archives, this inclusive and intersectional book enables us to truly see queer history unlike anything before, with glimpses of activism in the decades preceding and following Stonewall, family life, marches, protests, celebrations, mourning, and Pride. By challenging many of the assumptions that dominate mainstream LGBTQ+ history, We Are Everywhere shows readers how they can-and must-honor the queer past in order to shape our liberated future.

Praise for @lgbt_history: "My favorite Instagram account is lgbt_history. It reminds me of all those who came before, upon whose shoulders I stand." --ANDERSON COOPER, the Hollywood Reporter "Matthew Riemer... and Leighton Brown... are shedding much-needed light on our past with their absolutely essential @lgbt_history Instagram account, which shares addictive, fascinating, and inspiring archival photographs and engaging anecdotes." -- Out magazine "Such a gift to the LGBT community." --DUSTIN LANCE BLACK "Riemer and Brown are careful to represent a spectrum of identities in the LGBTQ community, giving special attention to the often overlooked stories of transgender and bisexual members of the community. @lgbt_history also gives noticeable representation to people of color and people with disabilities, who have been crucial to the advancement of queer liberation but often go ignored." --Mashable
