Black Gay Men Of The South.
Culled from interviews during travel across 15 southern states, North-western University performance studies chair E. Patrick Johnson's Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South (University of North Carolina Press) profiles 63 gay Black men ranging in ages from 19 to 93. The stories--like the men--are as diverse and complex as Johnson's memories of his mother's and aunts' metaphorized iced tea recipes. "Sweet tea" serves as a double entendre referring to both Black gay men and to gossip (as in "pouring tea" or "spilling the tea"). The term serves as both a literal and figurative backdrop for a series of powerful, touching life narratives.
