The Dividends of Dissent: How Conflict and Culture Work in Lesbian and Gay Marches on Washington, University of Chicago Press, 2008.
The book: Marching on Washington is a hallowed tradition of American political protest, and demonstrations led by the women's rights, civil rights and antiwar movements all endure in popular memory. Between 1979 and 2000, four major lesbian and gay demonstrations took place there, and while these marches were some of the largest of their time, they have been sorely overlooked—until now. Drawing on extensive archival research, historical data, original photographs, interviews with key activists, and more than a thousand news articles, this book offers a thorough analysis of these marches and their organization.
The author: Amin Ghaziani is a Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow in the Society of Fellows and a lecturer in sociology at Princeton University.
