“From the opening paragraph of its prologue, written by Rutgers Professor Whitney Strub, who also served as the book’s editor, Queer Newark—Stories of Resistance, Love, and Community ties modern art and activism to historic perspective and struggle….The book winds through the decades artfully, and those attuned to sociological history will recognize an evolving set of issues, some relatable to nationwide LGBTQ concerns, some to urban post-industrial cities, some to both; sometimes in an oscillating friction.”
