Queer Carnival
«In this fascinating and ground-breaking book, Amy L. Stone takes readers on a journey through the possibilities of festivals in places that are usually overlooked in discussions of LGBTQ lives, loves, and celebrations. Exploring the importance and complexities of the carnivalesque for LGBTQ urban and broader cultures, they augment our current thinking about citizenship in accessible and engaging ways. This book is recommended reading for all interested in LGBTQ studies, festivals, cities, communities, and citizenship.»

«Queer Carnival sparkles with extraordinary observations about overlooked parts of the country that receive too little attention but in which most queer people live—and where presidential elections are often decided. Stone convincingly shows that there is indeed ‘something reconciliatory about being desired for one's difference,’ whether this comes from the mayor attending your raunchy drag number or having a nephew escort his butch lesbian aunt to the stage»
