A STURDY YES OF A PEOPLE gathers Nestle's most influential writing into a single volume presenting her persistent involvement in liberation movements, LGBTQ histories, erotic writing, and archives that document gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer lives. Embedded in tales of lesbian desire are Nestle's concerns with the power of class and race in America to exile bodies. From Nestle's earliest popular essays such as "Lesbians and Prostitutes: An Historical Sisterhood" to more recent powerfully evocative pieces like "I Lift My Eyes to the Hill" in which Nestle, a white lesbian, traces the life of her friend, African-American lesbian Mabel Hampton, A Sturdy Yes of a People gathers both her most enduring insights and new provocations for readers and fans to treasure or discover. Scholar Carolyn D'Cruz of La Trobe University in Victoria, Australia situates Nestle's work and its power while an afterword by Susie Bright reminds readers of how transgressive and potent Nestle's sex writing was--and remains. A bold and original thinker, deeply connected with her communities, with an abiding willingness to reexamine and reimagine queer lives by integrating new ideas, challenges, and experiences, Nestle dazzles as a powerful thinker, writer, and theorist. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 399-412). 505 00 $g Afterword: $t Joan Nestle : a bibliography. $r Yeva Johnson -- $g Introduction: $t Invitation to a feast / $r Yeva Johnson -- $g Liberation -- $t My mother liked to fuck -- $t Liberties not taken -- $t Lesbian memories 1: Riis Park, 1960 -- $t My Fem Quest -- $t Doesn't she ever stop talking -- $t Some understandings -- $t Passion is our politics -- $t Letter to my community : a sturdy yes of a people -- $g History -- $t A restricted country -- $t Butch-fem relationships : sexual courage in the 1950s -- $t A fragile union -- $t This huge light of yours -- $t Narratives of liberation : pluralities of hope -- $t Two women : Regina Nestle, 1910-1978, and her daughter, Joan -- $t John Preston and myself -- $t Who were we to do such a thing? -- $g Sex -- $t Esther's story -- $t On rereading "Esther's story" -- $t A change of Life -- $t A feeling comes -- $t Taking Rita Hayworth in my mouth -- $t My cancer travels -- $g Education -- $t My history with censorship -- $t Lesbian sex and surveillance -- $t Wars and thinking -- $t The politics of thinking -- $g Archives -- $t Lesbians and prostitutes : an historical sisterhood -- $t When the lions write history -- $t "I lift my eyes to the hill" : the life of Mabel Hampton as told by a white woman -- $t The will to remember : my journey with the Lesbian Herstory Archives -- $t The beauty of the unarmed human body -- $t Voices from lesbian herstory -- $g Afterword: $t An homage to Joan Nestle / Susie Bright -- $t Joan Nestle : a bibliography. 600 10 $a Nestle, Joan, $d 1940- 600 17 $a Nestle, Joan, $d 1940- $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJcKQJf9Yc8XVfmvYwdbBP $0 (OCoLC)fst00264653 610 20 $a Lesbian Herstory Archives. 610 27 $a Lesbian Herstory Archives $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00738160 650 0 $a Lesbians $z United States. 650 0 $a Lesbianism $z United States. 650 0 $a Jewish lesbians $z United States. 650 7 $a Jewish lesbians $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982828 650 7 $a Lesbianism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996514 650 7 $a Lesbians $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996540 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Essays $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919922 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a D' Cruz, Carolyn, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Johnson, Yeva, $e writer of introduction. 700 1 $a Bright, Susie, $d 1958- $e writer of afterword. $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkXBQqQJQDWptcQg7dJDq 830 0 $a Sapphic classics 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5193DF98CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
