| Titre : | And the Category is... : Inside New York's Vogue, House, and Ballroom Community | | Type de document : | texte imprimé | | Auteurs : | Ricky Tucker, Auteur | | Editeur : | Boston : Beacon Press | | Année de publication : | 2021 | | Importance : | 1 vol. (232 p.) | | Présentation : | ill. en noir, couv. ill. en coul. | | Format : | 24 cm | | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-0-8070-0348-0 | | Prix : | 29 EUR | | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | | Mots-clés : | culture LGBTQI danse | | Index. décimale : | HIST Histoire | | Résumé : | What is Ballroom? Not a song, a documentary, a catchphrase, a TV show, or an individual pop star. It is an underground subculture founded over a century ago by LGBTQ African American and Latino men and women of Harlem. Arts-based and intersectional, it transcends identity, acting as a fearless response to the systemic marginalization of minority populations.
Ricky Tucker pulls from his years as a close friend of the community to reveal the complex cultural makeup and ongoing relevance of house and Ballroom, a space where trans lives are respected and applauded, and queer youth are able to find family and acceptance. With each chapter framed as a “category” (Vogue, Realness, Body, et al.), And the Category Is . . . offers an impressionistic point of entry into this subculture, its deeply integrated history, and how it’s been appropriated for mainstream audiences. Each category features an exclusive interview with fierce LGBTQ/POC Ballroom members—Lee Soulja, Benjamin Ninja, Twiggy Pucci Garçon, and more—whose life, work, and activism drive home that very category. |
