Public ISBD 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.
