Violence Against Queer People: Race, Class, Gender, and the Persistence of Anti-Lgbt Discrimination, Paperback

Violence against lesbians and gay men has increasingly captured media and scholarly attention. But these reports tend to focus on one segment of the LGBT community white, middle class men and largely ignore that part of the community that arguably suffers a larger share of the violence racial minorities, the poor, and women. In"Violence against Queer People," sociologist Doug Meyer offers the first investigation of anti-queer violence that focuses on the role played by race, class, and gender.
