Rated Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Social Upheaval 8/10

A remarkable and unusual social history, composed of novelistic vignettes drawn out from scanty archival material about the lives of Black women in the early 20th century. The project here is to center as history the lives of people who are on the margins and whose stories don’t get told in the traditional forms of history - Black, poor, queer, and otherwise in violation of the norms of a heavily policed and stratified era.
