Part of DK's Big Ideas Simply Explained series, The LGBTQ+ History Book covers eras from the earliest recorded history to the Renaissance to the Jazz Age to the present day. Using bold layouts rich with illustrations, entries run up to eight pages in length and cover the earliest evidence for LGBTQ+ people around 2400 BCE, same-sex narratives in Urdu poetry, the first gender-affirmation surgeries in the early twentieth century, Stonewall, camp, pronouns and neopronouns, and much more. The coverage is international in scope, addressing gender and sexuality in ancient Greece, China, and Rome; nonbinary and intersex gender identity in Maori, Thai, and Indigenous American cultures; and the effects of colonialism in Latin America, India, and Africa. An introduction acknowledges the challenges of studying LGBTQ+ history, and the book ends with a directory of key people, a glossary, and an index. Engagingly written and energetically designed, The LGBTQ+ History Book will find an eager audience in casual browsers and students looking to start a research project. Copyright 2023 Booklist Reviews.
