A Queer History of the United States for Young People
Back to EducationalMediaSex Politics And Culture

$18.95

Queer history didn’t start with Stonewall. This book explores how LGBTQ people have always been a part of our national identity, contributing to the country and culture for over 400 years.

It is crucial for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth to know their history. But this history is not easy to find since it’s rarely taught in schools or commemorated in other ways. A Queer History of the United States for Young People corrects this and demonstrates that LGBTQ people have long been vital to shaping our understanding of what America is today.

By Michael Bronski, Adapted by Richie Chevat

Description

Description

Through engrossing narratives, letters, drawings, poems, and more, the book encourages young readers, of all identities, to feel pride at the accomplishments of the LGBTQ people who came before them and to use history as a guide to the future. The stories he shares include those of:

  • Indigenous tribes who embraced same-sex relationships and a multiplicity of gender identities.
  • Emily Dickinson, brilliant nineteenth-century poet who wrote about her desire for women.
  • Gladys Bentley, Harlem blues singer who challenged restrictive cross-dressing laws in the 1920s.
  • Bayard Rustin, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s close friend, civil rights organizer, and an openly gay man.
  • Sylvia Rivera, cofounder of STAR, the first transgender activist group in the US in 1970.
  • Kiyoshi Kuromiya, civil rights and antiwar activist who fought for people living with AIDS.
  • Jamie Nabozny, activist who took his LGBTQ school bullying case to the Supreme Court.
  • Aidan DeStefano, teen who brought a federal court case for trans-inclusive bathroom policies.
  • And many more!

With over 60 illustrations and photos, a glossary, and a corresponding curriculum, A Queer History of the United States for Young People will be vital for teachers who want to introduce a new perspective to America’s story.

Part of the ReVisioning History for Young People series. Named one of the Best Nonfiction Books of 2019 by School Library Journal.

Paperback. 336 Pages.

    Unf*ck Your Boundaries

    Boundaries are the ways we communicate our needs.

    They are what allow us to feel safe among strangers, in everyday interactions, and in our closest relationships. When we have healthy boundaries, we have a strong foundation in an uncertain world. And when someone crosses your boundaries, or you cross someone else’s, the results range from unsettling to catastrophic.

    In this book, bestselling author Dr. Faith Harper offers a full understanding of issues of boundaries and consent, how we can communicate and listen more effectively, and how to survive and move on from situations where our boundaries are violated. Along the way, you’ll learn when and how to effectively say “no” (and “yes”), troubleshoot conflict, recognize abuse, and respect your own and others’ boundaries like a pro.

    This began as a zine, then was heavily edited to become a chapter in Unf*ck Your Intimacy. Then, it evolved into this book! And later, the workbook version emerged as well.

    Fumbling Towards Repair

    Fumbling Toward Repair is a workbook by Mariame Kaba and Shira Hassan that includes reflection questions, skill assessments, facilitation tips, helpful definitions, activities, and hard-learned lessons intended to support people who have taken on the coordination and facilitation of formal community accountability processes to address interpersonal harm & violence.

    Not for beginners! This workbook is intended for people with experience in community accountability work, whether as formal or informal facilitators, mediators, and survivors’ support people. It’s the book the creators wish they’d had when they were first starting out.

    The exercises focus on self-accountability, assessing and growing your own skills, deciding whether or not to get involved, troubleshooting common problems, and improving your grasp of the technical nuts and bolts of accountability. Includes exercises to do on your own, with survivors, with perpetrators, and with your team.

    Packed full of stories, perspectives from many people and situations, example documents, and more. This resource is deeply thoughtful, practical, and full of heart for the people who find their calling is to try to help mend the most broken relationships.
