Patrick Johnson's \u003ci\u003eSweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South--An Oral History\u003c\/i\u003e, a groundbreaking text for the fields of Black studies, queer studies, and southern oral history and ethnography. Between 2004 and 2006, Johnson edited a series of narratives from Black gay men who were born and raised in the South and have continued to live there. While the scholarly text of \u003ci\u003eSweet Tea\u003c\/i\u003e has enjoyed wide circulation, Johnson knew that the stories of these individuals weren't able to come fully alive on the page. He transformed the text into a theatrical performance, which originally toured the country as \u003ci\u003ePouring Tea\u003c\/i\u003e; the oral history has also been adapted into a feature-length documentary, \u003ci\u003eMaking Sweet Tea\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on several tours and individual stagings, \u003ci\u003eSweet Tea: A Play\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers, students, theater practitioners, and audiences from different backgrounds to engage with the lives of eleven men and one gender-nonconforming person--incredible characters all originally played by the author in a one-man show.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810142404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.30d","brand":"E.
