June 28, 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, which is considered the most significant event in the gay liberation movement, and the catalyst for the modern fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States. Drawing from the New York Public Library's archives, this is a collection of first accounts, diaries, periodic literature, and articles from LGBTQ magazines and newspapers that documented both the years leading up to and the years following the riots. The anthology focuses on the events of 1969, the five years before, and the five years after.
This book offers an analysis of the relationship between gender and contemporary consumer cultures in post-authoritarian Southern European societies : it explores the social and cultural changes that have taken place in Spain, Portugal and Greece since the 1960s.
