Jason Pierceson is associate professor of political science at the University of Illinois, Springfield. He is the author of Same-Sex Marriage in the United States: The Road to the Supreme Court, (2013)
Sexual Minorities and Politics is masterfully done, providing the
reader with a comprehensive, timely, and accessible account of LGBT
political advocacy. Instructors will find the text versatile for a
number of courses across (and within) disciplines. Pierceson also
discusses a number of emerging issues that will make the text
relevant beyond its initial publication, especially since these
public policy questions are unlikely to be ‘settled’ for some time.
Finally, the book’s historical analysis should make it a staple
despite the dynamic nature of LGBT issues; the how and why
regarding LGBT political activism and group mobilization are
illuminating for scholarship more generally.
*Journal of Political Science*
Accessible and comprehensive, the book gives a great overview of
all of the major developments in the United States, combining
history, theory, and empirical evidence from the latest research...
Widely adaptable for courses in political science or
interdisciplinary sexuality/LGBT studies.
*Shawn Schulenberg, Director of Graduate Studies, Department of
Political Science, Marshall University*
Well written, comprehensive, and compelling. It is no exaggeration
to say this is the best sexuality and politics textbook on the
market.
