"Features more than 25 essays by teachers and professors about
strategies they have used in the classroom and about some of the
difficulties that inevitably accompany such subject matter. . . .
While the book's primary audience is teachers and scholars, general
readers interested in what kids are learning these days--or could
be learning--will find this informative, readable, and
educational."--Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide
"Groundbreaking and readable. . . . Essential for college and
university libraries supporting teacher training degree programs
and curricula in American history, LGBT studies, and the social
sciences. Essential, undergraduates and above; general
readers."--Choice
"An excellent and sturdy resource that offers high school and
college teachers an entry point into LGBT history. . . .
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
"An excellent resource not only for new teachers but existing
teachers who need some guidance on how to approach this topic. . .
. This book is well put together with the chapters being relatively
short. . . . The authors understand this will be controversial
issue, and they present it in such a way that it would go over well
in high school and college classrooms."--Kevin Winter, San
Francisco Book Review
"Finally! Veteran historians share teaching secrets, primary-source
gems, and savvy framing approaches that enable the queer past to
flourish where it should have been all along, in U.S. surveys and
more specialized classes. Educators from high school through
college will return to this resource again and again for
inspiration and guidance."--Don Romesburg, Sonoma State
University

source guides as this one does."--Estelle Freedman, Stanford
University, author of Intimate Matters: A History of Sexuality in
America
"This book does an excellent job of tackling the major questions
animating the field of LGBT history and also the bread-and-butter
challenges likely to be encountered by teachers incorporating this
material in their classes."--Lane Fenrich, Northwestern
University
"This book is designed for teachers of U.S. history, [but] the
chapters are so varied that anyone can enjoy reading them."--Kit
