Founder of the first graduate program in LGBT studies in the country, he is perhaps best known for his biographies of Paul Robeson, Lincoln Kirstein, and Howard Zinn—works that have been hailed as “magnificent” (\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e), “enthralling” (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e), “splendid” and “definitive” (Studs Terkel, \u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times\u003c\/i\u003e), and “refreshing and inspiring” (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Duberman is also an equally gifted playwright and essayist, whose piercingly honest memoirs \u003ci\u003eCures: A Gay Man’s Odyssey \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMidlife Queer\u003c\/i\u003e have been called “witty and searingly candid” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e), “wrenchingly eloquent” (\u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003e), and “a moving chronicle” (\u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e). His writings have explored the shocking attempts by the medical establishment to “cure” homosexuality; Stonewall, before and after; the age of AIDS; the struggle for civil rights; the fight for economic and racial justice; and Duberman’s vision for reclaiming a radical queer past from the creeping centrism of the gay movement.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Martin Duberman Reader\u003c\/i\u003e assembles the core of Duberman’s most important writings, offering a wonderfully comprehensive overview of our lives and times—and giving us a crucial touchstone for a new generation of activists, scholars, and readers.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “A deeply moral and reflective man who has engaged the greatest struggles of our times with an unflinching nerve, a wise heart, and a brilliant intellect.” —Jonathan Kozol","brand":"Martin Duberman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48283692302587,"sku":"9781595586797","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_dd882393-2a90-4ae0-b3be-2c2c968847db.jpg?v=1771371491","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-martin-duberman-reader-9781595586797","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
