Titre : San Francisco's Castro Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs et autres personnes : Strange de Jim, Auteur Edition : 2004 Editeur : Mount Pleasant [Etats-Unis] : Arcadia Publishing Année : 2003 Collection : Images of America Importance : 128 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7385-2866-3 Note générale : Nestled in the Eureka Valley area, the Castro is arguably the most well-known of San Francisco's neighborhoods, having been the epicenter of the gay rights movement since the 1970s. This new collection of photographs shows the area's growth from a smattering of Victorian houses built for working-class families in the 1870s to the flood of young gay men who settled in the neighborhood during the 1970s. This influx transformed the area and led to the rise of Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay person elected to a major public office. This book also chronicles the 1978 assassination of Milk and Mayor George Moscone, the subsequent riots, and the effects of AIDS on the community in the 1980s and 1990s. Ultimately, these stirring images bear witness to the resilience of the Castro today.
Strange de Jim has lived in the Castro since 1979 and has contributed hundreds of items to local icon Herb Caen's column in the San Francisco Chronicle. He now contributes regularly to Bruce Bellingham's column in the San Francisco Examiner. In this new work, de Jim has gathered over 200 photographs from the people and businesses of the Castro District to create a striking visual history of this unique community.
The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all.Langues : Américain (ame) Langues originales : Américain (ame) Catégories : Sciences humaines:Histoire Mots-clés : USA Index. décimale : Pastille bleue Pour les ouvrages mis dans les armoires Sciences Humaines San Francisco's Castro [texte imprimé] / Strange de Jim, Auteur . - 2004 . - Arcadia Publishing, 2003 . - 128 pages. - (Images of America) .
