Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As one of the 1970's activists featured in Jim Sears's book, I am naturally biased. But as a student of lesbian and gay history, I enjoyed and appreciated his take on lesbian and gay life in the South in the decade between Stonewall and AIDS. Like Barbara Tuchman's "Stilwell" and "A Distant Mirror", Sears combines biography and history, which directs the narrative and makes it more interesting to the average reader. People like Jack Nichols, Lige Clarke and Merrill Mushroom, who appeared in Sears's previous book "Lonely Hunters", join newcomers like Logan Carter, Pokey Anderson, Leonard Matlovich and "Miss P" to create a diverse tapestry that was (and is) the LesBiGay South.
