  • dc.description.abstract
    Dirty Dragging contributes to queer retheorizations and explores the ambivalence of transgressive performances under apartheid, Nazism, and Jim Crow through a transoceanic lens. The book takes up the ambivalence of “dirty” performance modes—spanning drag and carnival to propaganda—and extends readings of gender bending by incorporating perspectives on blackface and “racialized drag”. It explores violent, locally specific mobilizations of the transgressive along with the ways in which queer and creolized forms of performance intertwine to oppose identitarian boundaries. Given the current slide into right-wing authoritarianism, the book thereby gestures toward the potential joy of collectively making societal conditions dance.
