Opis

Andrew Reynolds' The Children of Harvey Milk is not only a compelling collective portrait of LGBTQ politicians around the globe; it also offers a powerful explanation of why individual politicians practicing "identity politics" have been absolutely crucial to the successes of this still-expanding global social movement.

Recenzje

Offering a much-needed survey of the current LGBTQ political landscape, Reynolds tells the stories of the politicians and activists who have come after Milk, the first openly gay person elected to office in California... Demonstrating a real gift for storytelling, he allows the personal as well as the professional aspects of his subjects' lives to shine through."
