REVIEWS

"A terrific book for anyone teaching U.S. history to high school or college students. It is designed to explain why, and especially how, educators can integrate LGBT history into their existing courses. The volume contains superb essays by scholars and teachers that speak to pedagogy, sources, and methods, and includes seventeen topical essays that span the breadth of U.S. history, from colonial same-sex experiences to contemporary same-sex marriage." —American Historian

"Contributors deftly tie LGBT content to the broader goals of teaching history, not simply making visible the lives of everyday queer people but prompting critical engagement." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"The authors understand this will be a controversial issue, and they present it in such a way that it would go over well in high school and college classrooms." —San Francisco Book Review
