Reviews
Johnson lays the foundation for other scholars to engage a younger generation of black queer southern women. For scholars, students, and teachers in southern, African American, gender and sexuality, and oral and folklore studies, Johnson's oral history will be indispensable for future interventions."--Journal of Southern History


A timely text with over seventy women sharing their insights, heartbreaks, and joy. . . . These women's narratives open conversations and categories that often are thought hidden in the shadows or nonexistent. The narrators of [Black. Queer. Southern. Women.] will make you laugh, cry, and thank them for their strength and resilience."--QED: A Journal of GLBTQ Worldmaking


Johnson's book does oral history the right way, addressing potentially sensitive subjects with respect and generosity. Because of this, he makes another commendable contribution to Black feminist studies, oral history, performance studies, queer studies, and Africana studies."--WSQ


In this ground-breaking oral history project of E. Patrick Johnson's, readers glimpse the everydayness and extraordinariness of being black queer women in the U.S. South."--Religious Studies Review
