Making Our Way: A Southern Lesbian And Gay Reader

Making Our Way: A Southern Lesbian And Gay Reader

Jim Grimsley
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The traditional and often tortured nature of the South is so ingrained that even canonical lesbian and gay Southern writers exist somehow outside or in spite of the broader tradition of Southern letters. In her ground-breaking Making Our Way: A Southern Lesbian and Gay Reader, writer and critic Amanda Gable proves through research both broad in scope and finely detailed what no other anthologist has acknowledged so forcefully -- that lesbian and gay writers have contributed immeasurably to the history of Southern letters and their work is key to our understanding of this literature-rich region. Gable's broad period of interest involves changing homosexual identities and, through over 45 selections, she divides her collection of fiction, poetry, letters, diaries, essays, reportage, drama, and lyrics into three periods: the early period where same-sex sexuality was most commonly exhibited in homoerotic and romantic friendships, the modern period exemplified by innuendo, codes, and individual daring, and the post-Stonewall period in which a strong, sometimes political same-sex or queer identity is shown.
