Flamboyants: The Queer Harlem Renaissance I Wish I'd Known by George M. Johnson
informative
fast-paced
5.0
From the author of the bestselling title All Boys Aren't Blue comes a powerful collection of essays and poems that celebrate Black and Queer icons from the Harlem Renaissance.
One of my favorite parts of this book is the gorgeous illustrations that accompany the text.
Another brilliant book by Award-Winning Black Non-Binary Writer, Author, and Executive Producer, George M. Johnson. They have compiled a collection of essays celebrating and exploring the lives of Black writers, artists, and activists from the 1920s Harlem Renaissance. From Langston Hughes and Zora Neal Hurston to Ma Rainey and Countee Cullen, Johnson explores the Black and Queer identities of each icon. Two of my absolute favorite parts of this book are (1) the poems from Johnson that are interspersed throughout and (2) the beautiful illustrations that accompany the essays.
