Still, the assembled multitudes that animated these mobilizations often claimed to speak in the name of the people, and they aspired to empowered forms of egalitarian...

Awakening: How Gays and Lesbians Brought Marriage Equality to America
ISBN: 9780674737228 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Nathaniel Frank tells the dramatic story of how an idea that once seemed unfathomable--and for many gays and lesbians undesirable--became a legal and moral right in just half a century. Awakening begins in the 1950s, when millions of gays and lesbians were afraid to come out, let alone...

What has remained untold is the major behind-the-scenes contribution of entrepreneurial Congressional staff, who planted the seeds of public interest bills in their bosses' minds and maneuvered to counteract the influence of lobbyists to pass laws in...
