What accounts for these and other victories? Anthony J. Nownes argues that a large part of the answer lies in the rise of transgender rights interest groups in the United States. Drawing on firsthand accounts from the founders and leaders of these groups, Organizing for Transgender Rights not only addresses how these groups mobilized and survived but also illuminates a path to further social change. Nownes shows how oppressed and marginalized people can overcome the barriers to collective action and form viable organizations to represent their interests even when their government continues to be hostile and does not."--Publisher's description 650 0 $a Transgender people $z United States. 650 0 $a Pressure groups $z United States. 650 0 $a Human rights $z United States. 650 6 $a Transgenres $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Droits de l'homme (Droit international) $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Pressure groups. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075954 650 7 $a Transgender people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765239 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 830 0 $a SUNY series in queer politics and cultures. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE3EC6F0214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
