But being pelted and shouted at while accompanying a group of twentysomething queer activists changed her mind and led her to write this book about what it is like for queer kids to grow up these days. She traveled across the country listening to queers and lets them tell their stories in this frightening, inspiring book." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
	All Books by Jan Willem Duyvendak - Author of : The Global Emergence of Gay and Lesbian Politics : National Imprints of a Worldwide Movement Paperback - 448 pages (December 1998) Temple Univ Press; ISBN: 156639645X *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "Since the Stonewall rebellion in 1969, gay and lesbian movements have grown from small outposts in a few major cities to a worldwide mobilization. This book brings together stories of the emergence and growth of movements in more than a dozen nations on five continents, with a comparative look that offers insights for both activists and those who study social movements. Lesbian and gay groups have existed for more than a century, often struggling against enormous odds. In the middle of the twentieth century, movement organizations were suppressed or swept away by fascism, Stalinism, and McCarthyism. Founded by a few pioneers in the postwar period, movements have risen again as more and more people have stood up for their right to love and live with persons of their choice. This book addresses both the mature movements of the European Union, North America, and Australia and the newer movements emerging in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa, examining the social and political conditions that shape movement opportunities and trajectories. It is rich in the details of gay and lesbian cultural and political life in different countries." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
