Description
An Electric Literature "Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Book of 2022" Selection. This book is a love letter to the legendary Black and Latinx LGBTQ underground subculture, uncovering its abundant legacy and influence in popular culture. Founded over a century ago by LGBTQ African American and Latino men and women of Harlem, Ballroom is an arts-based and intersectional space that transcends identity, offering a fearless response to systemic marginalization. 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. Through exclusive interviews with fierce LGBTQ/POC Ballroom members, each chapter offers an impressionistic point of entry into this subculture, its history, and how it's been appropriated for mainstream audiences.
