As spaces associated with middle-class homosexuality enter mainstream urbanity in the United States, cultural assimilation increasingly erases insurgent aspects of these social movements. This gentrification itself leads to queer displacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining urban history, architectural critique, and queer and trans theories, \u003cem\u003eQueering Urbanism\u003c\/em\u003e traces these phenomena through the history of a network of sites in the San Francisco Bay Area. Within that urban landscape, Stathis Yeros investigates how queer people appropriated existing spaces, how they expressed their distinct identities through aesthetic forms, and why they mobilised the language of citizenship to shape place and secure space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere the legacies of LGBTQ+ rights activism meet contemporary debates about the right to housing and urban life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432059355372,"sku":"9780520394490","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520394490.jpg?v=1774556902"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/stathis-g-yeros.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
