After years of activism in the LGBTQ movement, he feels lonely and lost. The constant violence he suffers because of his gender expression, sexual orientation, and social class has caused him to isolate himself and shut down. His only contact with the outside world is his job as a doorman at the drag club where he works every night without a contract. The rest of the time he spends wandering through a city in shock, where racist raids have increased and people are beginning to protest the war. The assaults, disappearances, and torture endured by his friends, coworkers, and neighbors will make him realize that he can no longer stay on the sidelines. Leslie Feinberg immerses us once again in an emotional, committed, and courageous story. This time, the setting surrounding the protagonist is no longer the factories of the American Rust Belt, but the nightclubs of the East Village. The working class is no longer organized into large unions, but the conflicts remain very similar. Max will have to face job insecurity, racism, and the violence of those unwilling to let him be who he is.","brand":"Levanta Fuego","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55302216876376,"sku":"LIB-DR-LE-72","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/drag-king-dreams-leslie-feinberg-5486969.jpg?v=1761842772"},{"product_id":"stone-butch-blues","title":"Stone Butch Blues","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsidered a cult work in the LGBTQ community and one of the most important novels in 20th-century American literature, Stone Butch Blues tells the story of Jess Goldberg, a working-class butch lesbian from the northern United States. Jess doesn’t have it easy. Everyone seems bothered by her appearance, her identity, her gender expression. She will have to face police violence, insults from bosses, misunderstanding from her family, disgusted looks on the street; arrests, psychiatric hospitalizations, beatings, scorn, dismissals. She will have to learn to live with the wounds and scars and to be who she is above all else. And in doing so, she will also experience the support of the butch, drag, and queer community, the warmth of chosen family, romantic love, and political activism in revolutionary unions. Committed, moving, tough, tender, and brave, Stone Butch Blues is Leslie Feinberg’s best-known work, which reflects many elements of their own biography.

Max is lonely and uncertain about her future — fearful, in fact, of America's future with its War on Terror and War in Iraq — with only a core group of friends to turn to for reassurance. Max is shaken from her crisis, however, by the news that her friend Vickie, a trans woman, has been found murdered on her way home late one night. As the community of cross-dressers, drag queens, lesbian and gay men, and \"genderqueers\" of all kinds stand up together in the face of this tragedy, Max taps into the activist spirit she thought had long disappeared and for the first time in years discovers hope for her future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seal Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57791916704088,"sku":"9780786717637","price":18.33,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9780786717637.jpg?v=1784831664"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.it\/en\/collections\/libros-leslie-feinberg.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
