An Electric Literature "Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Book of 2022" SelectionA love letter to the legendary Black and Latinx LGBTQ underground subculture, uncovering its abundant legacy and influence in popular culture.What is Ballroom? It is an underground subculture founded over a century ago by LGBTQ African American and Latino men and women of Harlem. Not a song, a documentary, a catchphrase, a TV show, or an individual pop star.
With each chapter framed as Arts-based and intersectional, it transcends identity, acting as a fearless response to the systemic marginalization of minority populations.Ricky Tucker pulls from his years as a close friend of the community to reveal the complex cultural makeup and ongoing relevance of house and Ballroom, a space where trans lives are respected and applauded, and queer youth are able to find family and acceptance.
