Reviews for The Dividends of Dissent. How Conflict and Culture Work in Lesbian and Gay Marches on Washington.
"A dazzling accomplishment, both conceptually and substantively. Ghaziani's rich and meticulously researched work significantly expands our understanding of the history of gay and lesbian activism during a critical period. Using these four previously unstudied cases of mass protest as a means to tell that history is a brilliant idea." - Verta Taylor, University of California, Santa Barbara"
