Download or read book Snapping Beans written by Jayme N. Canty and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snapping Beans offers a collective narrative of Southern queer lesbian women and gender-nonconforming persons. Throughout the text, the American South acts as both a region and a main character, one that can shame and condemn but also serve as a site of reconciliation. Blending autoethnography and oral histories, Jayme N. Canty explores how both geographic location and social spaces, such as the Church, intersect with categories such as race, gender, and sexuality to shape and mark identity. Just as the intergenerational practice of snapping beans provides an opportunity to slow down, Canty enables readers to make space and to hear a new Southern narrative. Filled with both hurt and healing, Snapping Beans chronicles a multivocal journey of coming out, ultimately revealing a South where Black queer lesbians not only live but also, more importantly, thrive.

Download or read book Crazy on You written by Crystal B. Bright and published by Lyrical Press. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a beautiful R&B singer teams up with a country music hunk, the music they make is irresistible in this contemporary romance. Worse than a one-hit wonder, Tassia Hogan is a one-line wonder. Infamous for one extremely provocative verse, her career as an R& B singer isn’t going anywhere. Neither is her love life, since men always expect her to be as wanton as those lyrics. But now her label is offering Tassia the chance to shine—with a catch. The album is duets. Her partner is a Country Western singer. And he’s just as reluctant to agree as she is. Hyde Love has been in the music business since he was eleven, which is long enough to become disenchanted with it. Collaborating on an album seems great in theory, but melding his sound with Tassia’s will be difficult—almost as difficult as keeping things strictly business. Getting involved could risk a career-ruining scandal, but discovering the real Tassia could be truly earth-shattering.
