Queer (In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States (Queer Ideas/Queer Action)
Description
Across the United States, LGBT people have long been targeted through laws, policing practices, and “moral” prosecutions that turn identity into evidence and difference into punishment. This book traces how criminalization has shaped everyday life—from the courtroom to the street—revealing the political and institutional forces that sustain injustice. With a focus on themes of power, citizenship, and resistance, it shows how legal systems both reflect and manufacture stigma while activists and communities fight to reclaim safety, rights, and dignity. Written in a clear, urgent voice characteristic of Joey L. Mogul’s influential queer scholarship, it connects historical patterns to contemporary struggles for justice and equality.
