Description
June 28, 1969, Greenwich Village. The New York City Police Department, fueled by bigoted liquor licensing practices and an omnipresent backdrop of homophobia and trans-phobia, raided the Stonewall Inn, a neighborhood gay bar, in the middle of the night. The riotous reaction from the bar's patrons and the surrounding community, followed by six days of protests, would go down in history as the most galvanizing period in this country's fight for sexual and gender liberation. Across two hundred documents, Marc Stein presents a unique record of the lessons and legacies of Stonewall. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the moment the first brick (or shot glass) was thrown, The Stonewall Riots allows readers to take stock of how LGBTQ life has changed in the US, and how it stayed the same. It offers campy stories of queer resistance, courageous accounts of movements and protests, powerful narratives of police repression, and lesser-known stories otherwise buried in the historical record, from an account of ball culture in the mid-sixties to a letter from the Black Panther Huey P. Newton to his bothers and sisters in the resistance. In the Stonewall Riots, Stein does not construct a neatly quilted, streamlined narrative of Greenwich Village, its people, and its protests; instead, he allows multiple truths to find their voices and speak to one another, much like the conversations you'd expect to overhear in your neighborhood bar.
