But the evolution of drag in the city—as an art form\, a community and a mode of liberation—has never before been fully chronicled. \nNow\, for the first time\, Elyssa Goodman unearths the dramatic\, provocative untold story of drag in New York City in all its glistening glory. Glitter and Concrete ducks beneath the velvet ropes of Harlem Renaissance balls\, examines drag’s crucial role in the Stonewall Uprising\, traces drag’s influence on disco and punk rock as well as its unifying power during the AIDS crisis and 9/11\, and culminates with the modern-day drag queen in the era of RuPaul’s Drag Race. \nIncluding original interviews with high-profile performers\, as well as glamorous color photos from exclusive sources and the author herself\, Glitter and Concrete is a significant contribution to queer history and an essential read for anyone curious about the story that echoes beneath the heels. \n​​ \nAbout Elyssa Maxx Goodman \nElyssa Goodman is a New York-based writer and photographer specializing in non-fiction writing and documentary photography.
