Title: Homesteading
Description: "The organizing concept of Julie Enszer's book is brilliant. Claiming the term "homesteading" to name the years between the liberatory moment of the Stonewall Rebellion and the present day campaigns for LGBTQ civil rights and marriage equality, her words help pull queer history out of the shadows. Enszer's collection of twenty years of occasional essays, opinion pieces, and segmented memoris are a personal, poignant, sex-positive and deeply activist self-and community portrait, illuminating the years in which by simply living our lives, fighting for change, arguing issues, and changing our minds we ended up creating the foundations of a sustainable American cultural identity" -- Review from Barrie Jean Borich, p. [4] of cover.
