readingrobin 's review for:
A Queer History of the United States for Young People
by Michael Bronski
informative
slow-paced
The fact the this book meant for teenagers gives such an aphobic definition of asexuality, deadnames several transgender historical figures, and the author clearly has not done any research or contemplation on gender issues past the 1980s leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It frequently condescends to its younger audience and leaves out and misconstrues so much information that it's staggering. I gave it an extra .5 for introducing me to figures I have not yet heard of, but that's all the positives it gets from me. Personally, when suggesting a nonfiction LGBTQ+ title, I'm going to stay far away from this one and try to find a resource that is more inclusive and respectful.
