Reviews

“A Black Queer History of the United States isn’t just a book—it’s a balm, a battle cry, and a beautifully subversive remix of the American story. With wit, rigor, and archival elegance, Snorton and Bost have queered the timeline, centering the lives, loves, and legacies of Black LGBTQ+ folks from the colonial past to the chaotic now. They don’t just fill the gaps; they flood them—with kinship, resistance, and receipts.” —Cheryl Dunye, writer-director, The Watermelon Woman
