WGS Professor Michael Bronski's book, A Queer History of the United States for Young People, has been released by Beacon Press on Tuesday, June 10, 2019 in time to commemmorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising.

Professor Bronski's new work demonstrates that LGBTQ people have long been vital to shaping our understanding of what America is today. "[T]there is no such thing a gay or lesbian history: it is all American history and we just need to uncover this lost history—much of which has been suppressed either consciously or accidentally—and see where it fits in the larger picture", quotes Bronski from his book in an interview with Newsweek. A Queer History of the United States for Young People rediscovers this lost history and confronts the untold aspects of the American story that are have often been left out of classrooms and textbooks.

For further coverage of A Queer History of the United States for Young People, see this Time article, this talk hosted by the New York Public Library, and this interview with House of SpeakEasy. Professor Bronski will also be speaking at the Boston Athenaeum on Tuesday, June 11.  

Please join WGS in congratulating Professor Bronski, and stay tuned for further announcements about his work!
