Queer theory Urban renewal Power (Social sciences) Cities & towns Activism Social cohesion Nightlife Urban history ab: The article discusses "The City Aroused," a book by social geographer Damon Scott that examines the intersection of queer theory and urban studies through the lens of post-war San Francisco's waterfront and its queer nightlife. Scott analyzes how urban redevelopment, driven by pro-growth advocates, led to the destruction of vibrant queer spaces, which were labeled as 'blighted' areas. The book highlights the resilience of the queer community, detailing their collective organizing and political activism in response to displacement and repression. Through a comprehensive methodology, Scott reconstructs the historical context and socio-political dynamics that shaped the queer landscape, making significant contributions to both queer studies and urban history. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
