Focusing on five major urban centres, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, and Calgary, \u003ci\u003ePrairie Fairies\u003c\/i\u003e explores the regional experiences and activism of queer men and women by looking at the community centres, newsletters, magazines, and organizations that they created from 1930 to 1985.　 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging the preconceived narratives of queer history, Valerie J. Korinek argues that the LGBTTQ community has a long history in the prairie west, and that its history, previously marginalized or omitted, deserves attention. Korinek pays tribute to the prairie activists and actors who were responsible for creating spaces for socializing, politicizing, and organizing this community, both in 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, \u003ci\u003ePrairie Fairies\u003c\/i\u003e historicizes the transformation of prairie cities, and ultimately the region itself, into a predominantly urban and diverse place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Korinek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.00w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802095312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eValerie Korinek\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44697640271987,"sku":"9780802095312","price":82.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_41498d0d-673d-4ae2-8004-9220974f5ab8.jpg?v=1775245023","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/prairie-fairies-a-history-of-queer-communities-and-people-in-western-canada-1930-1985-9780802095312","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
