Libro publicado originalmente por Calamus Books en 1977. Mezcla de fábula y manifiesto, el texto nos sitúa en Ramrod, un imperio en decadencia donde conoceremos a las diferentes comunidades de maricas, mujeres, reinas, hombres queer y mujeres que aman a otras mujeres, y sus modos de supervivencia frente a los hombres blancos y el mundo que han creado. Con una entusiasta acogida que dura ya más de cuatro décadas, este libro ofrece una crítica incisiva al capitalismo, la asimilación y el patriarcado que sigue siendo profundamente relevante hoy en día.Esta primera publicación en castellano se produce cuarenta y cuatro años después de la original en inglés y recuerda el potencial del texto en un momento crucial para las luchas contra la normatividad del género y los movimientos por la disidencia sexual. Esta edición cuenta con un prólogo de Jesús Alcaide, curador e investigador independiente, y Jonathan Snyder, profesor de estudios literarios y culturales, responsables también de la traducción.
