Rezensionen

''Black Queer Dance is a meticulous exploration into the lives of black male dancers. With vibrant narratives, Broomfield's scholarship allows the black queer dance experience to shine. This book is the light. I can't wait to see how powerful the next generation of dancers become after reading this book.''

Harper Watters, First Soloist, Houston Ballet

"Black Queer Dance is the book that we didn't realize we needed. Deftly navigating the terrain of lived experience, queer theory, and masculinity studies, Broomfield introduces a framework to help us think about gender performativity beyond received cultural binaries that reduce queer black men to mere spectacle. To riff on a popular black colloquialism, he clearly understood the assignment."
