Carryin' on in the Lesbian and Gay South

"This assortment of touching, hilarious, and very smart essays moves lesbian and gay history to a new place, geographically and analytically. Ranging widely from deep South to upper South, from rural areas to urban centers, across differences of race class and gender, the authors explore the intersecting meanings of southernness and sexuality with attention to the widest angles of vision, and to the telling details of daily experience." - Lisa Duggan,coauthor with Nan D. Hunter of Sex Wars: Sexual Dissent and Political Culture
