Résumé : New York now has a new, comprehensive history book that chronicles the state through centuries of change. A richly illustrated volume, The Empire State begins in the early seventeenth century (when the region was still populated solely by Native Americans) and concludes in the mid-1990s, by which time people from all over the world had made the state their home. Throughout the book, politics, economics, culture, and social history all are emphasized, as are the important contributions made by ethnic groups and women. The Empire State serves as a successor to A History of New York State, for many years the standard one-volume account of the region but today outdated and long out of print. Now students, scholars, and history enthusiasts will find thorough and fascinating coverage in The Empire State. - note de l'éditeur

Résumé : Identifie la période de l'âge d'or de la tolérance et de la culture homosexuelle à New York entre 1890 et 1930 en explorant l'organisation spatiale et la structure sociale du monde des homosexuels. Mais la crise économique et sociale des années 1930 ainsi que des lois plus répressives allaient contraindre les homosexuels à devenir plus discrets et la culture gay à devenir clandestine.
