Opis

Canada is considered a leader when it comes to LGBTQ rights, yet this is a fairly recent phenomenon, one that is largely due to the tireless work of disparate groups of LBGTQ activists. "Queer Mobilizations" examines the relationships between LGBTQ activists and local, regional, and federal Canadian governments. The contributors explore how various governments have tried to regulate and repress LGBTQ movements, and how, in turn, queer activists have successfully shaped public policy across the political spectrum, from city halls to Parliament Hill.
