The Art of Drag Summary

The Art of Drag by Jake Hall

Lights. Glamour. Action! Take a peek into the cultural phenomenon that is Drag, in this lusciously illustrated guide to the history of the phenomenon, from ancient theatre to the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race. Drag has been around for thousands of years. A fabulous mix of fashion, theatre, gender and politics all come together to create the show-stopping entertainment millions love today. In this comprehensive work, Jake Hall delves into its ancient beginnings, to the present day and beyond. Vibrant illustrations enhance a rich history that ranges from Kabuki theatre to Shakespeare, and the revolutionary Stonewall riots to the still-thriving New York ballroom scene. This is a must-have guide to the wonderful world of Drag.

The Art of Drag Reviews

Fun, thorough and so beautiful! It taught me more about Drag than I could have ever imagined. - Amelia Abraham, Author of Queer Intentions. This book is an essential. guide to drag, its history, its impact and its continued potency. - Amrou Al-Kadhi, author of My Life as a Unicorn Utterly desirable as an art object but also hugely informative about the art of drag. - Juno Roche, Author of Trans Power. Wigs have never looked taller, nor eye shadow so excessive. The result is a truly fabulous combination history and gift book. - Publishers Weekly
