Drag. Un’arte queer che scuote il mondo

A universe of extravagance, wigs, glamour, creativity and struggle. Contained in a word of only four letters is a complex world–made up of beauty, a sense of community and diversity–populated by fascinating subjects: drag queens, drag kings, queers and freaks. Reconstructing the history of drag and the place it occupies in our society today, this book pays tribute to figures popular or underground, light or committed, aligned or radical who, each in their own way, have contributed to change through resilience and sublimation, a sense of humor and ruthlessness. Now an integral part of pop culture, drag remains an ever-changing phenomenon and reveals to us its incredible capacity for renewal.
