i miss when you could make political art without placing personal identity (and the self) at the center of everything
this piece (“artist bio” by anna daliza) sort of perfectly sums it up. the emphasis on identity politics and tokenization in art/music/performance spaces feels reductive and exploitative- like it offers a sort of racial tourism for the wealthy white patrons. none of what im saying are original thoughts btw go see White by james ijames
Graffiti left on the tomb of Ramses V in Egypt by ancient greek tourists (when the tomb was only a few hundred years old). “I visited and did not like anything but the sarcophagus” and “I cannot read the hieroglyphs.”
🌈 Hey Rainbow Readers! Our next list is queer historical fiction! This is for readers who loved books like Last Night at the Telegraph by Malinda Lo, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan, and The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave! For this list, we defined historical fiction as set in a real place, during a culturally recognizable time. All books are set before 1990. Historical novels capture the details of the time period as accurately as possible for authenticity, including social norms, manners, customs, and traditions.
We have several fun genre lists heading your way this month. All of these lists will feature between 10-20 books and all books on it will have under 5,000 Goodreads ratings, with a handful on each being under 1,000! Our goal is to introduce you to new books you might have never seen otherwise. These will be a mix of indie and traditional books; and range in age category!
Do you have any others you would add to this list? Authors please feel free to self-promote your queer historical fiction books in the comments!
