Book Reviews of Stonewall
Book Review: A triumphant 'must-read' for anyone who wants a more ethical society
Summary: 5 Stars
Martin Duberman's Stonewall should be required reading for everyone in the US. Perhaps I exaggerate a tad, but he zeros in on a singular event in US civil rights history and creates a classic piece of historical reading. Yes, LGBT struggles for acceptance and justice is part of our civil rights movement in the United States, along with the United Farm workers, Martin Luther King, Paul Robeson and the Equal Rights Amendment. I grew up across the Bay from San Francisco/Castro so the LGBT was never an alien concept to me, yet even in the Bay Area homophobia existed and still does. This book explains why LGBT people are still fighting for rights that many straight people either disregard as essential or simply don't think "those people" deserve. The book also explains why LGBT people can't 'hide' their minority sttaus and uniqueness the way many people think they can or expect them to. Best of all though, Duberman is a gay historian who does NOT want 'to be straight.' Just as his most famous biographical subject, the African America radical entertainer, Paul Robeson, did not want to be white. It sounds simple but it's a very important factor in why he's perhaps this countries' greatest historian. The photos are amazing, the book is exciting, as a straight woman, I cried tears of sadness and joy--don't miss out!
