Love and Resistance

These indelible images are among the hundreds housed in the New York Public Library’s archive of photographs of LGBT history from photojournalists Kay Tobin Lahusen and Diana Davies.

Description

A ragtag group of women behind a police line in the rain. A face in a crowd holding a sign that says, “Hi Mom, Guess What!” at an LGBT rights rally. Two lovers kissing under a tree. These indelible images are among the hundreds housed in the New York Public Library’s archive of photographs of LGBT history from photojournalists Kay Tobin Lahusen and Diana Davies.

This powerful collection—which captures the energy, humour, and humanity of the groundbreaking protests that surrounded the Stonewall Riots—celebrates the diversity of the LGBT rights movement, both in the subjects of the photos and by presenting Lahusen and Davies’ distinctive work and perspectives in conversation with each other.

A preface, captions, and part introductions from curator Jason Baumann provide illuminating historical context. An introduction from best-selling author Roxane Gay speaks to the continued importance of these iconic photos of resistance.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

This book offers a compelling collection of over 100 images portraying the LGBTQ civil rights movement, focusing on the 1960s and 1970s. Rather than highlighting the Stonewall riots directly, it emphasises the broader conditions and contributions of queer women, often overshadowed in historical narratives focused on Stonewall. The photographs provide personal insights into the protests and the vibrant community before, during, and after this significant era.
