About the Book

The Routledge History of Queer America offers the first comprehensive synthesis of the rapidly evolving field of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) U.S. history. Featuring nearly thirty chapters on essential topics and themes, this collection spans from colonial times to the present, exploring critical areas such as rural vs. urban queer histories, gender and sexual diversity in early American history, and the intersectionality of queerness with race and class.

The book also delves into themes like queerness and American capitalism, the rise of queer histories, archives, and collective memory, and the growing field of transnational queer history. Bringing together prominent scholars, The Routledge History of Queer America defines how sexual and gender diversity has shaped American society, culture, and the nation.

This collection is a vital resource for understanding the rich history of queer experiences in the United States and provides a clear overview of the contributions and struggles of LGBTQ individuals in shaping American history. It's an indispensable work for anyone interested in the intersection of queer identity and the larger historical and cultural narratives of the U.S.
