Christina B. Hanhardt discussed her new book, Safe Space: Gay Neighborhood History and the Politics of Violence. Safe Space examines the ideal of safe space in both LGBT social movements and urban development over the past fifty years. Focused in New York and San Francisco, Hanhardt looks at how anti-violence efforts became inseparable from other so-called quality-of-life projects in recent years, highlighting the ways in which policing and privatization strategies shaped what have become today’s gentrified, gay metropolises.
