In A Queer New York, Jen Jack Gieseking highlights the historic significance of these spaces, mapping the political, economic, and geographic dispossession of an important, thriving community that once called certain New York neighborhoods home.Focusing on well-known neighborhoods like Greenwich Village, Park Slope, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Crown Heights, Gieseking shows how lesbian and queer neighborhoods have folded under the capitalist influence of white, wealthy gentrifiers who have ultimately failed to make room for them. Nevertheless, they highlight the ways lesbian and queer communities have succeeded in carving out spaces-and lives-in a city that has consistently pushed its most vulnerable citizens away.Beautifully written, A Queer New York is an eye-opening account of how lesbians and queers have survived in the face of twenty-first century gentrification and urban development. 606 $aElectronic books 606 $aGay people 606 $aGays 606 $aGender identity 606 $aGender-nonconforming people 606 $aIntersex people 606 $aSexual minorities 606 $aSexual minority culture 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / LGBT Studies / Gay Studies$2bisacsh 610 $aBlack geographies. 610 $aBrooklyn. 610 $aConstellations. 610 $aDisidentifications. 610 $aFeminist theory. 610 $aGentrification. 610 $aGreenwich Village. 610 $aLesbian. 610 $aLines and orientations (Ahmed). 610 $aManhattan. 610 $aNeighbourhood. 610 $aParadoxical space. 610 $aPeople of color. 610 $aProduction of space. 610 $aQueer failure. 610 $aQueer theory. 610 $aQueers of color. 610 $aRacism. 610 $aTransgender and gender non-conforming people. 610 $aUrban geography. 610 $aWhiteness. 615 0$aElectronic books. 615 0$aGay people. 615 0$aGays. 615 0$aGender identity. 615 0$aGender-nonconforming people. 615 0$aIntersex people. 615 0$aSexual minorities. 615 0$aSexual minority culture. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / LGBT Studies / Gay Studies. 676 $a306.76/6 700 $aGieseking$b Jen Jack, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01733146 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996582042903316 996 $aA Queer New York$94148346 997 $aUNISA
