A Badge of Injury The Pink Triangle as Global Symbol of Memory

"This remarkable and engaging book criticizes exclusionary notions of victimhood and insightfully discusses how past suffering was re-presented. I warmly recommend it to all who wonder how 'gay consciousness' was built and how this baggage could be queerly transported into the future we are currently envisioning." - Benno Gammerl, Professor for History of Gender and Sexuality, European University Institute, Florence, Italy

"A Badge of Injury makes an important contribution to debates around emancipatory movements and their reliance on history and symbols to stake their claims. Tremblay nudges us to think expansively about how the pink triangle functioned as an emblem of suffering that had the power to unite as well as divide. Essential reading in these turbulent times." - Jennifer Evans, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
