Krátky popis
From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait
of eight trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country,
following their daily triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses
growing up trans in America today “A master class in journalism as
a force for change.” —SAMANTHA ALLEN, author of Real Queer America
“With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they
really are: kids trying their best.”—MAIA KOBABE, author of Gender
Queer: A Memoir “Lang proves how rich the discourse is when trans
youth take their rightful place at the center of their
narratives.”—RAQUEL WILLIS, activist, and author of The Risk It
Takes to Bloom: On Life and Liberation “An incredibly important,
humane account.”—GARRARD CONLEY, New York Times bestselling author
of Boy Erased: A Memoir Media coverage tends to sensationalize the
fight over how trans kids should be allowed to live, but what is
incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the heart of this
debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For
their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year
traveling the country to document the lives of transgender,
nonbinary, and genderfluid teens and their families. Drawing on
hundreds of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the
people in their communities, American Teenager paints a vivid
portrait of what it’s actually like to grow up trans today.From the
tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer
communities in California, and from Texas churches to mosques in
Illinois, American Teenager gives readers a window into the lives
of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby, Augie, Jack, and Kylie,
eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want us to
believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. “With
heartfelt empathy, Nico Lang uncovers the human stories
overshadowed by political rhetoric, showcasing the struggles and
resilience of transgender youth amidst adversity while
simultaneously amplifying their voices, which are all too often
silenced. ”—JAZZ JENNINGS, author of Being Jazz: My Life as a
(Transgender) Teen and I Am Jazz “An urgently necessary book.By
allowing trans teens to tell their stories themselves, Lang has
given them—and by extension, all of us—a great gift.”—HUGH RYAN,
award-winning author of When Brooklyn Was Queer “Lang weaves this
broad bleak terrain with warm insights and a clear immediacy of
message. Expansive and compassionate.”-GABE DUNN, New York Times
bestselling author of I Hate Everyone But You “Lang’s excellent
reporting reminds us all of our shared humanity.”—BRIAN K. BOND,
CEO, PFLAG National“An absolute must-read.An evocative and
authentic story that is intimate and illuminating.” —RODRIGO
HENG-LEHTINEN, Executive Director of the National Center for
Transgender Equity
