Book Review

Bohemian Los Angeles and the Making of Modern Politics. By Daniel Hurewitz. (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2007. xii, 367 pp. $29.95, ISBN 978-0-520-24925-7.)

The founding of the Mattachine Society in 1950 has long been seen as a key turning point in gay and lesbian history. As the first enduring gay rights organization in the United States, historians have devoted many pages to the group's long-term legacy and to the context of its founding shortly after the beginning of the Cold War. In Bohemian Los Angeles and the Making of Modern Politics, Daniel Hurewitz sets out to move beyond the immediate background and instead explores the deep historical trends that made an organization such as the Mattachine Society possible.
