Winner; 2014 Lambda Literary Award in LGBT StudiesSince the 1970s; a key goal of lesbian and gay activists has been protection against street violence; especially in gay neighborhoods. During the same time; policymakers and private developers declared the containment of urban violence to be a top priority. In this important book; Christina B. Hanhardt examines how LGBT calls for "safe space" have been shaped by broader public safety initiatives that have sought solutions in policing and privatization and have had devastating effects along race and class lines.Drawing on extensive archival and ethnographic research in New York City and San Francisco; Hanhardt traces the entwined histories of LGBT activism; urban development; and U.S. policy in relation to poverty and crime over the past fifty years. She highlights the formation of a mainstream LGBT movement; as well as the very different trajectories followed by radical LGBT and queer grassroots organizations. Placing LGBT activism in the context of shifting liberal and neoliberal policies; Safe Space is a groundbreaking exploration of the contradictory legacies of the LGBT struggle for safety in the city.

STUNNING IMAGESBy CrystalRiderThis book ldquo;Lets Explore Austria (Most Famous Attractions in Austria): Austria Travel Guiderdquo;; is part of the series collection Baby Professor ndash; Childrenrsquo;s Explore the World Books published by Speedy Publishing. I have a 3rd grader; 1st grader and kindergartner. Every night we try to spend 20 minutes reading. I was given this book in exchange for my honest feedback. The kindle edition is great and easy to use. The baby professor books are great for everyday reading; for teachers or homeschooling. These are great quick reads that are visually stimulating as well as fun to read. These are meant to be reference tools not whole subject books. Each page features a fact and a picture. The illustrations in these books are simply stunning. My first grader was able to read most of the words on each page. I love that my kids are able to see and understand other parts of the world through these books.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Love the format of this ebookBy rkreviewerLove the format of this ebook. Very easy to read. Simply highlights the features of the country like most similar topics. It really intrigues the reader with the stunning photos throughout. I really like how it does not target places that everyone has heard of and visited or added to their bucket list. It really provides an exceptional learning experience no matter what age the reader is. I would definitely recommend reading this book even if you do not plan to travel to these destinations so that you may become familiar with new places you may not have ever heard of. I really enjoyed this book especially since it was not setup like a travel guide. Instead it was simply a leisurely and relaxing nonfiction read. I received this product free for reviewing purposes; however my opinions are all my own.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
