LONGLISTED FOR THE BREAD & ROSES AWARD

Shoulder to Shoulder is a love letter to the LGBTQ+ pioneers of solidarity and coalition. Offering a new global look at forgotten moments when those from marginalised backgrounds stood shoulder to shoulder to build a better future for all.

Through astounding research and fascinating storytelling, author and journalist Jake Hall takes us into the world of these trailblazers, bringing their tales to life and exploring both the inexplicable joys and brutal realities in their fights for justice.

Spanning movements from the Black Panthers coalition with the Gay Liberation Front in the US to queer solidarity groups in Argentina, Spain, France and Germany; from trans fights for abortion rights to the Pride support for miners strikes in the UK, Shoulder to Shoulder is for anyone who loved Bad Gays, Natives or Poverty Safari and is hungry for a fresh perspective on queer history.

Recenzii

Jake has written a book that is incredibly useful in our current times. Creating an enticing and nuanced exploration of solidarity, helping us to learn about those who have changed history - and inspiring us to positively impact our future
Jake Hall's Shoulder to Shoulder is a profoundly beautiful, humanising and necessary road map to freedom. It is a rich tapestry platforming some of the most courageous people and movements that have created connection and utopia out of a world hellbent on division and destruction. Written by one of the most inspiring visionaries today, you will be sure to be as mesmerised as I was at the turn of every page.
Captures and distils complex narratives, stories and histories in an engaging way, without losing any of the nuance. The writing never shies away from difficult subjects and topics, whilst weaving a thread of humour, fun and pure joy. This book makes me hopeful for the future.
Shoulder to Shoulder is full of incredible detail and is in so many ways a revelation. I learned so much about the history of the fight against oppression that was taken up by so many. An important book to read and think about in today's world. I enjoyed it immensely.
Jake Hall pours their heart and soul into Shoulder to Shoulder, recounting the exhilarating journey of activists who have fought tirelessly. With meticulous detail and flair, Hall illustrates how activism can be both fun and fierce, delivering tangible results. As queers who understand that freedom isn't free, Hall's work serves as inspiration, reminding us that Shoulder to Shoulder is not just a choice, but a vital path forward.
This is a love letter to the pioneers of solidarity and coalition: It's the story of those who sacrificed individual gains to fight for collective freedom.

Spanning movements from the Black Panthers coalition with the Gay Liberation Front in the US, to the Pride support for miners strikes in the UK, Shoulder to Shoulder transports us through time and shows how marginalised activists have always been intertwined in their pursuit of joint liberation.

Through astounding research and fascinating storytelling, Shoulder to Shoulder celebrates our often chaotic, and always messy, human history and those incredible, ordinary people who pushed for equality no matter the cost. Exploring both the inexplicable joys and brutal realities of the fight for justice, this book is perfect for anyone hungry for a fresh perspective on our shared human history.
