I realize you had to restrict your area in terms of time and geographical area but I wish Los Angeles and/or San Francisco were included. I bet there would be greater representation of POC if the West was included. Latino/Mexican/Chicano and African American to be exact. There is a strong his/herstory of the Butch-Femme culture in POC communities.

Greyson-- I wish the study could be more expansive than it is, but I am a grad student and I live on the east coast so that's really all I can do right now. Maybe when I'm (hopefully) turning it into a book someday I can expand it. But I totally agree that POC need to be represented, and one of the reasons I chose NYC was for its diversity. It is extremely important to me that this not be a white-only story, so please send any lesbians of color from this time and place my way!
By the way, there is a wonderful book on queer San Francisco by Nan Alamilla Boyd called "Wide-open town: a history of queer San Francisco to 1965." Last edited by LesbianOralHistory; 01-13-2011 at 02:50 PM. Reason: adding more information |
