Book Reports / Need help writing an Abstract on Gay New York from the turn of late 19 century [5]
...to 1940 , to be exact. From George Chaunceys book "Gay New York" .
How is this:
This book examines the re-discovered side of queer life from the late 1890s to year 1940 in the Tenderloin and Bowery districts of NYC. The lower classes occupied themselves with the orgies and the like that was associated with the "notorious" districts of NYC. Working-class immigrants only gave added headaches to the "slumming" as in slum bashing upper-class , yet the rich still managed to be tempted by the shocks and thrills to be had in these "red-light" districts. Vigilantes took it upon themselves to attack the thickly populated , poor districts.
I know its not structured but its due in a couple of days. Help
