Drawn from the life narratives of more than seventy African
American queer women who were born, raised, and continue to reside
in the American South, this book powerfully reveals the way these
women experience and express racial, sexual, gender, and class
identities-all linked by a place where such identities have
generally placed them on the margins of society. Using methods of
oral history and performance ethnography, E. Patrick Johnson's work
vividly enriches the historical record of racialized sexual
minorities in the South and brings to light the realities of the
region's thriving black lesbian communities. At once transcendent
and grounded in place and time, these narratives raise important
questions about queer identity formation, community building, and
power relations as they are negotiated within the context of
southern history. Johnson uses individual stories to reveal the
embedded political and cultural ideologies of the self but also of
the listener and society as a whole. These breathtakingly rich life
histories show afresh how black female sexuality is and always has
been an integral part of the patchwork quilt that is southern
culture.
