Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World 1890-1940

Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World 1890-1940

George Chauncey
4.2/5 ( ratings)
The award-winning, field-defining history of gay life in New York City in the early to mid-20th century



Gay New York brilliantly shatters the myth that before the 1960s gay life existed only in the closet, where gay men were isolated, invisible, and self-hating. Drawing on a rich trove of diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, George Chauncey constructs a fascinating portrait of a vibrant, cohesive gay world that is not supposed to have existed. Called "monumental" , "unassailable" , "brilliant" , and "a first-rate book of history" , Gay New Yorkforever changed how we think about the history of gay life in New York City, and beyond.
