330 .. $a For two years (1965-1966) anthropologist Newton did field research in the world of
drag queens--homosexual men who make a living impersonating women. Newton spent time
in the noisy bars, the chaotic dressing rooms, and the cheap apartments and hotels
that make up the lives of drag queens, interviewing informants whose trust she had
earned and compiling a lively, first-hand ethnographic account of the culture of female
impersonators. Mother Camp explores the distinctions that drag queens make among themselves
as performers, the various kinds of night clubs and acts they depend on for a living,
and the social organization of their work. A major part of the book deals with the
symbolic geography of male and female styles, as enacted in the homosexual concept
of "drag" (sex role transformation) and "camp," an important humor system cultivated
by the drag queens themselves.--From publisher description
