Dancing on the Edge

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

In the heart of Los Angeles, where dreams and struggles intertwine, lies a story of resilience, love, and the unyielding spirit of the LGBTQ+ community. This book takes us on a poignant journey through the decades, from the vibrant pre-AIDS era of the 1970s to the present day.

In the early chapters, we are immersed in the heady days of disco clubs and bathhouses, where LGBTQ+ individuals found liberation and a sense of belonging. We witness the emergence of a vibrant community, pushing boundaries and celebrating their unique identities.

However, as the AIDS epidemic swept through the community in the 1980s, a dark cloud descended. The book delves into the devastating impact of the disease, the fear and stigma it engendered, and the unwavering response of the LGBTQ+ community. We see how they fought for their rights, advocated for better treatment, and provided compassionate care to those affected.

Through personal stories and historical accounts, the book paints a vivid picture of the LGBTQ+ experience in Los Angeles. It explores the challenges faced by individuals and communities, the triumphs and setbacks of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and the evolving cultural landscape that has shaped LGBTQ+ identities.

This book is more than just a historical account; it is a celebration of the resilience and perseverance of the LGBTQ+ community. It is a testament to the power of love, the strength of community, and the unwavering fight for equality. It is a call to embrace diversity, to challenge prejudice, and to create a society where everyone can thrive, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

With its rich storytelling and poignant insights, this book invites readers to embark on a journey of understanding, empathy, and solidarity. It is a powerful reminder that the fight for LGBTQ+ equality is far from over and that we must continue to strive for a world where everyone can live openly and authentically, free from discrimination and prejudice.

Woman Want Bread Not the Ballot

Susan B. Anthony

American suffragette Susan B. Anthony delivered this speech countless times during the 1880s. In it, she explains the direct correlation between disenfranchisement and poverty. She describes how giving working class men the vote had led to consistent improvements in legislation protecting working class people. Anthony makes a compelling case that self-supporting working-class women, however, still faced major disparities in rights across the board because they lacked “the ballot, that symbol of perfect equality.”

Crazy Town - The Rob Ford Story

Robyn Doolittle

His drug- and alcohol-fueled antics made world headlines and engulfed a city in unprecedented controversy. Toronto mayor Rob Ford’s personal and political troubles have occupied center stage in North America’s fourth-largest city since news broke that drug dealers were selling a videotape of Ford appearing to smoke crack cocaine.  
Reporter Robyn Doolittle was one of three journalists to view the video and report on its contents in May 2013. Her dogged pursuit of the story has uncovered disturbing details about the mayor’s past and embroiled the Toronto police, city councillors, and ordinary citizens in a raucous debate about the future of the city. 
Even before those explosive events, Ford was a divisive figure. A populist and successful city councillor, he was an underdog to become mayor in 2010. His politics and mercurial nature have split the amalgamated city in two. 
But there is far more to the story. The Ford family has a long, unhappy history of substance abuse and criminal behavior. Despite their troubles, they are also one of the most ambitious families in Canada. Those close to the Fords say they often compare themselves to the Kennedys and believe they were born to lead.  
Fast paced and insightful, Crazy Town is a page-turning portrait of a troubled man, a formidable family, and a city caught in an astonishing scandal.
