And the Category Is.

Inside New York's Vogue, House, and Ballroom Community

Beschreibung

"Ballroom, and the house/vogue system, is an underground subculture founded over a century ago by LGBTQ Black and Latinx people of Harlem, creative, talent-laden, and intersectional, it transcends identity, serving as fearless response to the systemic marginalization of minority populations. Tucker reveals the complex cultural makeup and ongoing relevance of house and Ballroom, a space where trans lives have always been respected and applauded, and queer youth find safety, family, and acceptance."--
