Drawing on fieldwork conducted at eight women's music festivals,
Eileen M. Hayes shows how studying these festivals--attended by
predominately white lesbians--provides critical insight into the
role of music and lesbian community formation. She argues that the
women's music festival is a significant institutional site for the
emergence of black feminist consciousness in the contemporary
period. Hayes also offers sage perspectives on black women's
involvement in the women's music festival scene, the ramifications
of their performances as drag kings in those environments, and the
challenges and joys of a black lesbian retreat based on the
feminist festival model. With acuity and candor, longtime feminist
activist Hayes elucidates why this music scene matters. Veteran
vocalist, percussionist, producer, and cultural historian Linda
Tillery provides a foreword.
