Chapter 9: 'Bibi is a Sissy: Drag, Death by Silence and the Journey to Self-Determination from Brazil to Britain,' Nando Messias

Editors: Mark Edward, Stephen Farrier
Bloomsbury, Methuen Drama Engage Series

Drawing on rich interdisciplinary research that has laced the emerging subject of drag studies as an academic discipline, this book examines how drag performance is a political, socio-cultural practice with a widespread lineage throughout the history of performance. This text centres on the importance of dragging up the past to see beyond present drag constructs. Therefore, this volume maps the multi-threaded contexts of contemporary practices while rooting them in their fabulous historical past and memory.
