Black Queer Studies : A Critical Anthology

E. Johnson, M. Henderson

While over the past decade a number of scholars have done significant work on questions of black lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans-gendered identities, this volume is the first to collect this work and make black queer studies visible as a developing field of study in the United States. Bringing together essays by established and emergent scholars, this collection assesses the strengths and weaknesses of prior work on race and sexuality and highlights the theoretical and political issues at stake in the nascent field of black queer studies.
