Understanding the past -- pt. 2. The consequences of loss.In this gripping memoir of the AIDS years (1981-1996), Sarah Schulman recalls how much of the rebellious queer culture, cheap rents, and a vibrant downtown arts movement vanished almost overnight to be replaced by gay conservative spokespeople and mainstream consumerism. Schulman takes us back to her Lower East Side and brings it to life, filling these pages with vivid memories of her avant-garde queer friends and dramatically recreating the early years of the AIDS crisis as experienced by a political insider. Interweaving personal reminiscence with cogent analysis, Schulman details her experience as a witness to the loss of a generation's imagination and the consequences of that loss.AIDS (Disease)Social aspectsAIDS (Disease)United StatesGentrificationUnited StatesUrban renewalUnited StatesUrbanizationUnited Statesaids crisis.aids tragedy.autobiography.biography.cogent analysis.consequence of loss.ethnography.gay rights.lgbt activism.lgbt history.lgbt memoir.lower east side.political awareness.political insider.queer culture.social activism.vibrant arts movement.AIDS (Disease)Social aspects.AIDS (Disease)GentrificationUrban renewalUrbanization362.196/9792MS 1810rvkSchulman Sarah1958-1248630MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819759303321The gentrification of the mind4024990UNINA
