Bringing the cultural practices they are most familiar with into these spaces, these men accent the aesthetics of nightlife cultures through performance. Kareem Khubchandani develops the notion of ishtyle to name this accented style, while also showing how brown bodies inadvertently become accents themselves, ornamental inclusions in the racialized grammar of desire. \u003ci\u003eIshtyle\u003c\/i\u003e allows us to reimagine a global class perpetually represented as docile and desexualized workers caught in the web of global capitalism.

Engaging major themes in queer studies, Khubchandani explains how his interlocutors' performances stage relationships between: colonial law and public sexuality; film divas and queer fans; and race, caste, and desire. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that the unlikely site of nightlife can be a productive venue for the study of global politics and its institutional hierarchies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49942979805457,"sku":"CIN047205421XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/047205421X.jpg?v=1750943167"},{"product_id":"queer-nightlife-book-kemi-adeyemi-9780472054787","title":"Queer Nightlife","description":"The mass shooting at a queer Latin Night in Orlando in July 2016 sparked a public conversation about access to pleasure and selfhood within conditions of colonization, violence, and negation. \u003ci\u003eQueer Nightlife\u003c\/i\u003e joins this conversation by centering queer and trans people of color who apprehend the risky medium of the night to explore, know, and stage their bodies, genders, and sexualities in the face of systemic and social negation.

She demonstrates how Cushman's androgynous presence served as a symbol to many of her contemporaries, and revealed their multiple and often contradictory attitudes toward female performers, women, and the unspeakable possibilities of same-sex desire.\u003cbr\u003eThe biography draws upon unpublished archival material as well as on current critical work to view Cushman's career, relationships, and posthumous reception. \u003ci\u003eWhen Romeo Was a Woman\u003c\/i\u003e examines as autobiographical performance Cushman's own narratives, the stories she authorized others to write, and the letters she wrote to intimates.

Arguing for its political potential, Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes explores the social and cultural disruptions caused by Latin American and Latinx locas (effeminate men, drag queens, transgender performers, and unruly women) and the various forms of violence to which queer individuals in Puerto Rico and the U.S. are subjected. This interdisciplinary, auto-ethnographic, queer-of-color performance studies book explores the lives and work of contemporary performers and activists including Sylvia Rivera, Nina Flowers, Freddie Mercado, Javier Cardona, Jorge Merced, Erika Lopez, Holly Woodlawn, Monica Beverly Hillz, Lady Catiria, and Barbra Herr; television programs such as \u003ci\u003eRuPaul's Drag Race\u003c\/i\u003e; films such as \u003ci\u003eParis Is Burning\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Salt Mines\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMala Mala\u003c\/i\u003e; and literary works by authors such as Mayra Santos-Febres and Manuel Ramos Otero.

These performances provide a means to explore and critique issues of race, class, poverty, national identity, and migratory displacement while they posit a relationship between audiences and performers that has a ritual-like, communal dimension. The book also analyzes the murders of Jorge Steven L pez Mercado and Kevin Fret in Puerto Rico, and invites readers to challenge, question, and expand their knowledge about queer life, drag, trans performance, and Puerto Rican identity in the Caribbean and the diaspora. The author also pays careful attention to transgender experience, highlighting how trans activists and performers mold their bodies, promote social change, and create community in a context that oscillates between glamour and abjection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50278918488337,"sku":"CIN0472054279G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0472054279.jpg?v=1751135130"},{"product_id":"butch-queens-up-in-pumps-book-marlon-m-bailey-9780472051960","title":"Butch Queens Up in Pumps","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eButch Queens Up in Pumps\u003c\/i\u003e examines Ballroom culture, in which inner-city LGBT individuals dress, dance, and vogue to compete for prizes and trophies.

In Queer Relajo, David Tenorio argues that while Mexico City aims to bring visibility to queer sociality, the benefits of legitimizing queer space remain unclear.    Combining readings of film, digital media, and performance with drag autoethnography, Queer Relajo quite literally plays with how relajo (or playfulness) structures the spaces of queer nightlife in urban contexts by revealing how nighttime intimacy can minimize the paralyzing effects of violence and precarity in a neoliberal Mexico. Considering the political implications of when a queer\/trans person is present at night, Tenorio argues that queer feelings of play are not only essential to sexual liberation, but also resist neoliberal commodification and heteronormative extraction.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51596184191249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51596184617233,"sku":"NGR9780472077601","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0472077600.jpg?v=1751135145"},{"product_id":"memories-of-the-revolution-book-holly-hughes-9780472068630","title":"Memories of the Revolution","description":"Scripts, interviews, photos, and critical commentary documenting the riotous beginnings of this long-lived experimental theater space for women","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51719689928977,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51719690027281,"sku":"GOR014376514","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0472068636.jpg?v=1751358153"},{"product_id":"acts-of-gaiety-book-sara-warner-9780472035670","title":"Acts of Gaiety","description":"The importance of pleasure, humor, and frivolity in shaping LGBT lives and activism","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51726848000273,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51726848524561,"sku":"CIN0472035673VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52385146044689,"sku":"GOR009833460","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0472035673.jpg?v=1750814481"},{"product_id":"cast-out-book-robin-bernstein-9780472069330","title":"Cast Out","description":"Presents a collection by leading theater performers, practitioners, critics, and passionate spectators.

Shaw is an engaging performer and inspired writer.\" ---Gay Community News  Obie-award-winning performer and writer Peggy Shaw has been playing her gender-bending performances on Off Broadway, regional, and international stages for three decades. Co-founder of the renowned troupe Split Britches, Shaw has gone on to create memorable solo performances that mix achingly honest introspection with campy humor, reflecting on everything from her Irish-American working-class roots to her aging butch body.   This collection of Shaw's solo performance scripts evokes a 54-year-old grandmother who looks like a 35-year-old man (in her classic Menopausal Gentleman); a mother's ambivalent ministrations to a daughter she treated like a son (in the raw You're Just Like My Father); Shaw's love for her biracial grandson, for whom she models masculinity (in the musically punctuated To My Chagrin); and a mapping of her body's long, bittersweet history (in the lyrical Must: The Inside Story, a collaboration with the UK's Clod Ensemble). The book also includes a selection of Shaw's other classic monologues and an extensive introduction by Jill Dolan, Professor of English and Theater and Dance at Princeton University and the blogger behind The Feminist Spectator website.
