Using methods of oral history and performance ethnography, E. Patrick Johnson's work vividly enriches the historical record of racialized sexual minorities in the South and brings to light the realities of the region's thriving black lesbian communities."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000916278 650_0 $$aAfrican American lesbians$$zSouthern States$$vBiography. 000916278 650_0 $$aAfrican American lesbians$$zSouthern States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000916278 650_0 $$aAfrican American lesbians$$zSouthern States$$xHistory$$y21st century. 000916278 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 000916278 85200 $$bgen$$hHQ75.6.U52$$iS684$$i2018 000916278 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:916278$$pGLOBAL_SET 000916278 980__ $$aBIB 000916278 980__ $$aBOOK
