Some contributors examine the power of traditional Southern attitudes toward race and religion, and consider the don't ask, don't tell attitude about homosexuality in some communities (the public secret). Other contributors show how gay culture is thriving in the form of women's festivals, gay bars, and unusual networks such as that of Asian and Pacific Islanders in Atlanta. \u003cbr\u003e\"Out in the South\" is organized into sections that focus on a central metaphor of space and location. This grounds the book in the sense of the South as a special region and in the inside\/outside dilemma faced by many gay and lesbian Southerners as they negotiate their place in an often-inhospitable homeland.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlos Dews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566398134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566398138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.27h x 7.25w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2001 pg. 115","brand":"Carlos Dews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088567808255,"sku":"9781566398138","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4d95807-f3c8-4a44-b275-10da0a81b576.jpg?v=1769105493","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-in-the-south-carlos-dews-9781566398138","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
