Beacon Acquisitions:
Veteran LGBT activist and award-winning academic Michael Bronski will write
“An LGBT History of the United States.” This is the second book in
Beacon’s new history series—the first was Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz’s
“An Indigenous History of the United States.” Remarkably, there’s
no single book that covers the entirety of LGBT history, from colonial times
to the present, and what’s exciting is that Bronski’s goal is not
to simply “fill in the gaps” but “to construct a new way of interpreting
and understanding the history of the United States”—an essential goal
of this series and, indeed, Beacon’s list. More than a fusion of previously
published books, Bronski’s history will, additionally, draw from primary
source material including letters, diaries, and first person accounts to produce
an intellectually solid, accessible, and altogether innovative way of examining
queer history. Fall 2009
