Asegi stories : Cherokee queer and two-spirit memory / Qwo-Li Driskill.

Driskill, Qwo-Li, (author.).

Summary:

"The book focuses on the concept of asegi stories--stories that revise and revive Cherokee cultural memories of same-sex relationships and non-binary gender systems. It is the first full-length work of scholarship to develop a tribally specific Indigenous queer/two-spirit critique, providing a Cherokee 2GLBTQ lens from which to interpret the past, understand our present, and imagine decolonial futures"-- Provided by publisher.
