No Tea No Shade New Writings In Black Queer Studies E Patrick Johnson Ed by E. Patrick Johnson (ed.) 9780822362227, 0822362228 instant download after payment.

The follow-up to the groundbreaking Black Queer Studies, the edited collection No Tea, No Shade brings together nineteen essays from the next generation of scholars, activists, and community leaders doing work on black gender and sexuality. Building on the foundations laid by the earlier volume, this collection's contributors speak new truths about the black queer experience while exemplifying the codification of black queer studies as a rigorous and important field of study. Topics include "raw" sex, pornography, the carceral state, gentrification, gender nonconformity, social media, the relationship between black feminist studies and black trans studies, the black queer experience throughout the black diaspora, and queer music, film, dance, and theater. The contributors both disprove naysayers who believed black queer studies to be a passing trend and respond to critiques of the field's early U.S. bias. Deferring to the past while pointing to the future, No Tea, No Shade pushes black queer studies in new and exciting directions.

"As the companionate text to Black Queer Studies, No Tea, No Shade demonstrates the vital nature of the concerns that we associate with this new field—the limits of respectability politics, the critical and ecstatic possibilities of sex, the racial, gender, and sexual regulations of the law, the diasporic range of black queer identities and communities, and so on. The sheer breadth of its inquiries signals a field that is alive and evolving." — Roderick A. Ferguson, author of, Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique
"No Tea, No Shade collects writings from some of the most dynamic scholars and activists in black queer studies today. Visionary, and often irreverent, the scholarly essays collected here pose and respond to pressing questions for our times, forging new paths while connecting and diverging with trails previously blazed. It will be of interest to those wishing to chart black queer studies as a knowledge project as well as to those participating in the creation of a queer trans* feminist world." — Kara Keeling, author of, The Witch’s Flight: The Cinematic, the Black Femme, and the Image of Common Sense
