Not Straight, not White by Kevin Mumford

Not Straight, not White by Kevin Mumford

This compelling book recounts the history of black gay men from the 1950s to the 1990s, tracing how the major movements of the time - from civil rights to black power to gay liberation to AIDS activism - helped shape the cultural stigmas that surrounded race and homosexuality.

The book is an amazing reference that gives historical context of Black America around some of the most taboo subjects in our history"" - A&U Magazine

""Indispensable for those who reject the erasure of black queerness in American civil rights history."" - The Guardian

""It's easy to say that Mumford speaks the truth to power throughout Not Straight, Not White-because he does. Yet, a more nuanced treasure that Mumford gifts us with is a methodology for intimacy-to discover how in our closeness, throughout our vulnerabilities, and by articulating our failures we can (and must somehow) arrive at the love we all, each one of us, so desperately need."" - CLA Journal
