"Based on over six years of fieldwork, The Courage to Connect traces the transformation of the well-known Cape Cod community of Provincetown from its nineteenth-century origins as a Portuguese fishing town to its present status as a welcoming, sexually diverse tourist enclave." "In this book Sandra L. Faiman-Silva examines the history of the Portuguese ethnic community and the local economy, as well as the ways that gay and straight cultures intersect in areas such as public education, local government, and the police. Using queer and critical culture theory to analyze day-to-day local encounters, she lays bare the roots of social conflicts and shows how they can be resolved."--BOOK JACKET.
