\r\n\r\nThis ethnography explores how Black queer women in Chicago navigate the city’s neoliberal and gentrifying landscapes through the act of social dance. Adeyemi moves away from the simplistic idea that queer nightlife is purely ‘joyful’ or ‘utopian,’ instead documenting the complex labor required to carve out spaces of belonging. By analyzing specific club nights\u2014such as Slow Jams for Homos and Party Noire\u2014the book demonstrates how these women use their physical movements on the dance floor to assert their rights to the city, manage ‘burnout,’ and negotiate the presence of whiteness and heterosexuality in queer spaces.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
