Book Launch: Long Live Queer Nightlife: How the Closing of Gay Bars Sparked a Revolution by Amin Ghaziani
London N1 9DY

We are incredibly excited to welcome the seminal author and academic Amin Ghaziani over from Canada for a special talk at Housmans centering on his latest book Long Live Queer Nightlife: how the closing of gar bars sparked a revolution. A brilliant sociological intervention into the history of the ‘gay bar’ and its subsequent evolution into the ‘queer space’, Ghaziani traces the evolution of the queer scene through site specific research in various London nightspots. ‘Radically inclusive’ in its argument, the book avoids pessimistic rhetoric and instead makes the case for a vibrant queer present led by those too often left out of mainstream gay culture.

Amin will read from the book and will then discuss some of its wider themes and his research, followed by a Q&A. See you there!

£25 inc book, £3 admission only
