Wearing History

It's as American as apple pie--the T-shirt. But put a slogan on its blank canvas, and suddenly you are making a statement. Nowhere is this more reflected than in the gay and lesbian community, and its struggle for civil rights and equality. Here, in this fact-filled, engaging volume, look back at over forty years of history, as seen through the T-shirts that helped illuminate and define LGBT issues. From the 70s counterculture to the fight-back attitude of the 80s, from the tolerance of 90s to today's mainstreaming of gay culture, Wearing History illustrates--literally, provocatively--the passion, the politics, and the persistence of a movement that could not be silenced.
