Queer Newark

Stories of Resistance, Love, and Community

Edited by Whitney Strub; Epilogue by Zenzele Isoke
Rutgers University Press

Queer Newark charts an alternate history of LGBTQ life in America where working-class people of color are the central actors. Uncovering the sites and people of Newark’s queer past in bars, discos, ballrooms, and churches, these essays reveal how violence, poverty, and homophobia could never suppress joy, resistance, love, and desire.

Baltimore Revisited

Stories of Inequality and Resistance in a U.S. City

Rutgers University Press

To help untangle those apparent paradoxes, Baltimore Revisited assembles over thirty experts, both from inside and outside academia. Together, they find that the city has become ground zero for neoliberal policies, but also home to intensely engaged resistance movements.
