Queering the Popular Pitch

A new collection of eighteen essays by international scholars who explore the queer iconography implicit in a variety of art forms, including film musicals, videos, cabaret, Latin house, poetry and, in some cases, cultural personae. The authors delve into issues concerning race and ethnicity, forgotten histories, the body in music, and the use of popular music in power politics.
