Another exciting edited volume recently indexed by Southwest Humanities is Queer Nightlife, edited by Kemi Adeyemi (University of Washington), Kareem Khubchandani (Tufts University), and Ramón Rivera-Servera (University of Texas). This book centers “queer and trans people of color who apprehend the risky medium of the night to explore, know, and stage their bodies, genders, and sexualities in the face of systemic and social negation.” Featuring twenty-five essays and interviews by both established and up-and-coming scholars, Queer Nightlife covers sites, situations, and events such as “house parties, nightclubs, and bars that offer improvisatory conditions and possibilities for ‘stranger intimacies,’ and that privilege music, dance, and sexual/gender expressions,” exploring “everynight life” as it affects, inspires, and is created by queer and trans people of color, particularly in the wake of the Pulse nightclub massacre of 2016.
