GENDER STUDIES CONFESSIONS OF ACCIDENTAL OUTLAW GN (C: 0-1-0

Ajuan Mance gives comic treatment to the challenges, complexities, and occasional absurdity of life at the crossroads of race, gender, and geekiness. This graphic memoir answers important questions like: How many preschoolers have to mistake you for your dad before you actually start to forget your own name; if a Black girl is awful at double-dutch jump rope is it a reflection on her gender identity, racial identity, or both; and is viola player a gender or just a sexual orientation? Ajuan Mance’s Gender Confessions take up each of these questions and more, as it invites to share in those moments that mark the path of a gender explorer.
