{"product_id":"travels-in-a-gay-nation-philip-gambone-9780299236847","title":"Travels in a Gay Nation: Portraits of LGBTQ Americans","description":"For two years, Philip Gambone traveled the length and breadth of the United States, talking candidly with LGBTQ people about their lives. In addition to interviews from David Sedaris, George Takei, Barney Frank, and Tammy Baldwin, \u003ci\u003eTravels in a Gay Nation\u003c\/i\u003e brings us lesser-known voices--a retired Naval officer, a transgender scholar and \"drag king,\" a Princeton philosopher, two opera sopranos who happen to be lovers, an indie rock musician, the founder of a gay frat house, and a pair of Vermont garden designers. \u003cbr\u003e In this age when contemporary gay America is still coming under attack, Gambone captures the humanity of each individual. For some, their identity as a sexual minority is crucial to their life's work; for others, it has been less so, perhaps even irrelevant. But, whether splashy or quiet, center-stage or behind the scenes, Gambone's subjects have managed--despite facing ignorance, fear, hatred, intolerance, injustice, violence, ridicule, or just plain indifference--to construct passionate, inspiring lives.\u003cbr\u003e Finalist, \u003ci\u003eForeword Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e's Anthology of the Year \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOutstanding Book in the High School Category, selected by the American Association of School Libraries \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBest Book in Special Interest Category, selected by the Public Library Association \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Gambone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299236846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299236847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.58w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2010 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2010 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/16\/2010","brand":"Philip Gambone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540317565183,"sku":"9780299236847","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d42edcc-ed32-4ae9-ab57-c37958adaa1f.jpg?v=1700587224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/travels-in-a-gay-nation-philip-gambone-9780299236847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
