No Tea, No Shade

On October 28th, No Tea, No Shade: New Writings in Black Queer Studies will be published. This is a volume of scholarly works edited by E. Patrick Johnson that serves as a follow-up to his original edited volume, Black Queer Studies: A Critical Anthology. This volume features an essay I wrote based on my fieldwork in Boystown, Chicago entitled, "Boystown: Gay Neighborhoods, Social Media, and the (Re)production of Racism." In it, I explore the role of Facebook in the production of racist neighborhood formations, practices, and representations.

Buy the book, read it, use it!
