In A Queer New York, Jen Jack Gieseking highlights the historic significance of these spaces, mapping the political, economic, and geographic dispossession of an important, thriving community that once called certain New York neighborhoods home. Focusing on well-known neighborhoods like Greenwich Village, Park Slope, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Crown Heights, Gieseking shows how lesbian and queer neighborhoods have folded under the capitalist influence of white, wealthy gentrifiers who have ultimately failed to make room for them. Nevertheless, they highlight the ways lesbian and queer communities have succeeded in carving out spaces—and lives—in a city that has consistently pushed its most vulnerable citizens away. Beautifully written, A Queer New York is an eye-opening account of how lesbians and queers have survived in the face of twenty-first century gentrification and urban development. 2024-04-03T10:12:37Z 2024-04-03T10:12:37Z 2020 book ONIX_20240403_9781479891672_204 9781479891672 9781479848409 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/89486 eng application/pdf application/epub+zip Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781479891672_WEB.pdf 9781479891672_EPUB.epub New York University Press NYU Press 10.18574/nyu/9781479891672.001.0001 10.18574/nyu/9781479891672.001.0001 7d95336a-0494-42b2-ad9c-8456b2e29ddc 9781479891672 9781479848409 NYU Press New York open access
