Opis

In Queer Beyond London two leading LGBTQ historians explore and compare the queer dimensions of four English cities - Manchester, Leeds, Plymouth, and Brighton. They show how geography, size, the local economy, city government and local history and culture shaped LGBTQ life in these places, forging vibrant queer cultures that were distinct from the capital. Drawing on pioneering community history work in each of these cities, and underpinned by the testimonies of queer people who have made their lives there, the book shows how local stories can change national histories. -- .
