Drawing on rich interdisciplinary research that has laced the
emerging subject of drag studies as an academic discipline, this
book examines how drag performance is a political, socio-cultural
practice with a widespread lineage throughout the history of
performance. This volume maps the multi-threaded contexts of
contemporary practices while rooting them in their fabulous
historical past and memory. The book examines drag histories and
what drag does with history, how it enacts or tells stories about
remembering and the past. Featuring work about the USA, UK and
Ireland, Japan, Australia, Brazil and Barbados, this book allows
the reader to engage with a range of archival research including
camp and history; ethnicity and drag; queering ballet through drag;
the connections between drag king and queen history; queering
pantomime performance; drag and military veterans; Puerto Rican
drag performers and historical film.
