Founder of the first graduate program in LGBT studies in the country, he is perhaps best known for his biographies of Paul Robeson, Lincoln Kirstein, and Howard Zinn--works that have been hailed as \"magnificent\" (\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e), \"enthralling\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e), \"splendid\" and \"definitive\" (Studs Terkel, \u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times\u003c\/i\u003e), and \"refreshing and inspiring\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Duberman is also an equally gifted playwright and essayist, whose piercingly honest memoirs \u003ci\u003eCures: A Gay Man's Odyssey \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMidlife Queer\u003c\/i\u003e have been called \"witty and searingly candid\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e), \"wrenchingly eloquent\" (\u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003e), and \"a moving chronicle\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e). His writings have explored the shocking attempts by the medical establishment to \"cure\" homosexuality; Stonewall, before and after; the age of AIDS; the struggle for civil rights; the fight for economic and racial justice; and Duberman's vision for reclaiming a radical queer past from the creeping centrism of the gay movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Martin Duberman Reader\u003c\/i\u003e assembles the core of Duberman's most important writings, offering a wonderfully comprehensive overview of our lives and times--and giving us a crucial touchstone for a new generation of activists, scholars, and readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A deeply moral and reflective man who has engaged the greatest struggles of our times with an unflinching nerve, a wise heart, and a brilliant intellect.\" --Jonathan Kozol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Duberman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595586792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595586797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/11\/2013 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2013 pg. 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 52","brand":"Martin Duberman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124945940735,"sku":"9781595586797","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c5a14c3-6b5d-4821-85a0-eacedbd22d8a.jpg?v=1687439735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-martin-duberman-reader-martin-duberman-9781595586797","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
