Locating Queer Histories: Places and Traces across the UK
Editat de Dr Matt Cook, Alison Oram, Justin Bengryen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 apr 2024
The chapters cover a broad range of themes from migration, movement and multiculturalism; the distinctive queer social and political scenes of different cities; and the ways in which places have been reimagined through locally led community history projects. The book challenges traditional LGBTQ histories which have tended to conceive of queer experience in the UK as a comprising a homogeneous, national narrative.
Edited by leading historians, the book foregrounds the voices of LGBTQ-identified people by looking at a range of letters, diaries, TV interviews and oral testimonies. It provides a unique and fascinating account of queer experiences in Britain and how they have been shaped through different localities.

Recenzii
The theme of this book is that locality matters. Queer lives and queerscapes are illuminated across a multiplicity of places, spaces and times: from polities to gardens, synagogues, photography collections, racial interminglings, English beaches and Florence estates. Queerness is not so much about being as becoming, celebrating difference and belonging in all its varieties.
Locating Queer Histories provides an exquisitely rich, wide-ranging sampler of queer experiences. Methodologically and geographically varied, this work delivers on the promise of queer urban, regional, and provincial histories to engage us in revisiting familiar places from new perspectives, communities long omitted from history. Locating Queer Histories is a welcome challenge to the field and a promise of more to come.
This is another superlative offering from the 'Queer Beyond London' team of Bengry, Cook and Oram. The scholars they have assembled treat the reader to a rich diversity of topics about the fascinating heterogeneity of queer Britain. This is a collection to be savoured.
Opening up a wealth of new questions and avenues to explore, Locating Queer Histories emphasizes at its heart the profound importance of locality for histories of sex, desire and sexuality.
