GENDER STUDIES CONFESSIONS OF ACCIDENTAL OUTLAW GN

Ajuan Mance gives comic treatment to the challenges, complexities, and occasional absurdity of life at the crossroads of race, gender, and geekiness. This graphic memoir answers important questions like: How many preschoolers have to mistake you for your dad before you actually start to forget your own name; if a Black girl is awful at double-dutch jump rope is it a reflection on her gender identity, racial identity, or both; and is viola player a gender or just a sexual orientation? Ajuan Mance's Gender Confessions take up each of these questions and more, as it invites to share in those moments that mark the path of a gender explorer.
