Monique Doppert puts all these developments in a clear historical context, focusing on areas where Amsterdam’s rainbow community is most visible: culture, activism, emancipation and the nightlife scene. This lets her show how the city and its queer community have molded and remolded each other over time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eMonique Doppert\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a Dutch writer and journalist.
