An extremely thorough guide to an often-overlooked aspect of queer history, which a lot of people's conception of is limited to landmarks like Stonewall and AIDS actions. I'm so proud of our broader history of radical politics, and while as is the case for most academic texts this isn't exactly a pageturner, if you're a nerd like me you'll get a lot out of it. I should say, though, this is very thorough and critical when it's warranted, so it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Parts of this are very hard to read, especially if you're invested in radical politics. But I think it's so important to have a connection with our history and to understand what's possible and what we're up against. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

LGBT activism is often imagined as a self-contained struggle, inspired by but set apart from other social movements. Lavender and Red recounts a far different story: a history of queer radicals who understood their sexual liberation as intertwined with solidarity against imperialism, war, and racism. This politics was born in the late 1960s but survived well past Stonewall, propelling a gay and lesbian left that flourished through the end of the Cold War. The gay and lesbian left found its center in the San Francisco Bay Area, a place where sexual self-determination and revolutionary internationalism converged. Across the 1970s, its activists embraced socialist and women of color feminism and crafted queer opposition to militarism and the New Right. In the Reagan years, they challenged U.S. intervention in Central America, collaborated with their peers in Nicaragua, and mentored the first direct action against AIDS. Bringing together archival research, oral histories, and vibrant images, Emily K. Hobson rediscovers the radical queer past for a generation of activists today.
