Ferguson, alongside the many activists, historians, and critics he documents, offers a way forward towards liberation. And in doing so, Ferguson provides a way for us to think about creating a more just world; he offers his reader a way to consider one's queerness broadly, to open their methods of inquiry, and to consider history in a more spacious, more equitable way.\" (\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eQED: A Journal in GLBTQ Worldmaking\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"[A]n extraordinary contribution to the fields of LGBTQ Studies, American Studies, and queer of color critique. \u003ci\u003eOne Dimensional Queer\u003c\/i\u003e is necessary reading for scholars interested in the history of sexuality in the 20th-century US, queer theory, and gender and sexuality studies.\" (\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWomen's Studies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe story of gay rights has long been told as one of single-minded focus on the fight for sexual freedom. Yet its origins are much more complicated than this single-issue interpretation would have us believe, and to ignore gay liberation's multidimensional beginnings is to drastically underestimate its radical potential for social change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFerguson shows how queer liberation emerged out of various insurgent struggles crossing the politics of race, gender, class, and sexuality, and deeply connected to issues of colonization, incarceration, and capitalism. Tracing the rise and fall of this intersectional politics, he argues that the one-dimensional mainstreaming of queerness falsely placed critiques of racism, capitalism, and the state outside the remit of gay liberation. As recent activism is increasingly making clear, this one-dimensional legacy has promoted forms of exclusion that marginalize queers of color, the poor, and transgender individuals. This forceful book joins the call to reimagine and reconnect the fight for social justice in all its varied forms.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 The Multidimensional Beginnings of Gay Liberation 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Gay Emancipation Goes to Market 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 Queerness and the One-Dimensional City 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 The Multidimensional Character of Violence 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: The Historical Assumptions of Multidimensional Queer Politics 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex 161\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441789268248,"sku":"9781509523559","price":38.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509523559.jpg?v=1785025294","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/one-dimensional-queer-hardback-9781509523559","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
