{"product_id":"9781439901533","title":"Global Emergence Of Gay \u0026 Lesbian Pol","description":"Since the Stonewall rebellion in 1969, gay and lesbian movements have  grown from small outposts in a few major cities to a worldwide mobilization. This book brings together stories of the emergence and growth of movements in more than a dozen nations on five continents, with a comparative look that offers insights for both activists and those who study social movements.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lesbian and gay groups have existed for  more than a century, often struggling against enormous odds. In the middle of the twentieth century, movement organizations were suppressed or swept away by fascism, Stalinism, and McCarthyism. Refounded by a few pioneers in the postwar period, movements have risen again as more and more people have stood up for their right to love and live with persons of their choice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book addresses both the mature movements of the European Union, North America, and Australia and the newer movements emerging in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa, examining the social and political conditions that shape movement opportunities and trajectories. It is rich in the details of gay and lesbian cultural and political life in different countries.","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300833476848,"sku":"9781439901533","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781439901533_p0.jpg?v=1763756454","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781439901533","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
