Little of the history of LGB student groups on the West Coast has been told, despite the impact that California student organizations had on regional and national LGB politics and the fact that many leading LGB activists and writers got their start in these organizations. Given this glaring gap in the literature, a book like this is very much needed. -- Genny Beemyn, director, the Stonewall Center, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; * coeditor of Sage Encyclopedia of Trans Studies * This is the first book to address the foundational years of LGBTQ+ student activism in California, a state that has played key roles in U.S. and global LGBTQ+ history. The topic is fascinating and important; the research is industrious and impressive; and the arguments are excellent and enlightening. -- Marc Stein * author of Queer Public History: Essays on Scholarly Activism *
