解説
Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York and Chicago, Insist That They Love You presents a comprehensive biography of Craig Rodwell, an unheralded yet pivotal figure in the militant gay rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
Award-winning journalist John Van Hoesen explores cities grappling with social change, while highlighting Craig Rodwell's transformative impact. The book traces Rodwell's journey from a complicated childhood in a Christian Science boarding school and turbulent teenage years to his prominent role as an activist in adulthood. Founder of the first bookstore of its kind dedicated to gay and lesbian literature - the Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop - Rodwell played a crucial role in the early protests for gay rights, the Stonewall Riots, and the inaugural pride march of 1970. The book also thoughtfully considers the trajectory of Rodwell's tumultuous personal life, including his relationship with Harvey Milk.
Insist That They Love You honours Rodwell's vital contributions to the gay rights movement, bringing to life for readers the fearless determination and hard work that built today's freedoms. This compelling biography inspires readers to reflect on the power of truth, courage, and action to further social change.
