About this work

Also known as

Thing (Periodical)
She knows who she is

Description

"THING magazine was the voice of the Queer Black music and art scene in the early 1990s. As House music thrived, THING showcased the work of top DJs and musicians alongside poetry, fiction, art, and gossip. Its pages merged the cultural with the political, offering vital information abut HIV/AIDS treatment resources alongside features on trailblazing icons like Vaginal Davis, Larry Heard, Essex Hemphill, and RuPaul... Founded in Chicago but defined by ambition and influence that extended well beyond the city's border, THING embodied its communisty's bold spirit, as encapsulated by its tagline: 'She knows who she is.' All ten issues of THING are collected and published together here for the first time"--Back cover.
