OutWrite and the Rainbow History Project invite you to join us Thursday, October 16th from 7-8:30 PM for a reading and discussion with Princeton lecturer Amin Ghaziani. He'll be reading from his new book The Dividends of Dissent: How Conflict and Culture Work in Lesbian and Gay Marches on Washington. Between 1979 and 2000 four major lesbian and gay demonstrations took place in Washington, and while these marches were some of the largest of their time, they have been largely overlooked—until now.
Drawing on extensive archival research, historical data, original photographs, interviews with key activists, and more than a thousand news articles, The Dividends of Dissent offers a thorough analysis—descriptive, historical, and sociological—of these marches and their organization.
Amin Ghaziani earned a joint Ph.D. in Sociology and Organization Behavior from Northwestern University, where he has taught for the last year as a Visiting Assistant Professor. His research is organized around the study of culture, social movements, sexuality, and cities.
Join us on October 16th at 7:00 PM at the DC Center, 1111 14th St. Suite 350, a block from Thomas Circle.
