Focusing on the five major urban centres: Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, and Calgary, Prairie Fairies explores the regional experiences of queer men and women from 1930-1985. Challenging the preconceived narratives of queer history, Valerie J. Korinek argues that queer people have a long history in the prairie west, and that their histories, previously marginalized or omitted, deserve attention. Korinek pays tribute to the prairie activists and actors who were responsible for creating spaces for socializing, politicizing and organizing other queer people, both in the cities and rural areas. Far from the stereotype of the isolated, insular Canadian prairies of small towns and farming communities populated by faithful farm families, Prairie Fairies historicizes the transformation of prairie cities, and ultimately the region itself, into a predominantly urban and diverse place"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gays $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $z Canada $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $z Canada $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gays $z Canada $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 830 0 $a Studies in gender and history. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012608.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190702020619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=360AE398B0D511E8923D894D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
