E. Patrick Johnson's Honeypot opens with the fictional trickster
character Miss B. barging into the home of Dr. EPJ, informing him
that he has been chosen to collect and share the stories of her
people. With little explanation, she whisks the reluctant Dr. EPJ
away to the women-only world of Hymen, where she serves as his tour
guide as he bears witness to the real-life stories of queer Black
women throughout the American South. The women he meets come from
all walks of life and recount their experiences on topics ranging
from coming out and falling in love to mother/daughter
relationships, religion, and political activism. As Dr. EPJ hears
these stories, he must grapple with his privilege as a man and as
an academic, and in the process he gains insights into patriarchy,
class, sex, gender, and the challenges these women face. Combining
oral history with magical realism and poetry, Honeypot is an
engaging and moving book that reveals the complexity of identity
while offering a creative method for scholarship to represent the
lives of other people in a rich and dynamic way.
