Moore brings to light the family life of a group that has been largely invisible-gay women of color-in a book that challenges long-standing ideas about racial identity, family formation, and motherhood. Drawing from interviews and surveys of one hundred black gay women in New York City, Invisible Families explores the ways that race and class have influenced how these women understand their sexual orientation, find partners, and form families. In particular, the study looks at the ways in which the past experiences of women who came of age in the 1960's and 1970's shape their thinking, and have structured their lives in communities that are not always accepting of their openly gay status. Overturning generalizations about lesbian families derived largely from research focused on white, middle-class feminists, Invisible Families reveals experiences within black American and Caribbean communities as it asks how people with multiple stigmatized identities imagine and construct an individual and collective sense of self. 606 $aAfrican American lesbians$xIdentity$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American lesbians$zUnited States 606 $aSame-sex marriage 606 $aGay rights 606 $aPuerto Rican lesbians 610 $abildungsroman. 610 $ablack american communities. 610 $acaribbean communities. 610 $acoming of age. 610 $acoming out. 610 $aempowering women. 610 $afamily studies. 610 $afamily. 610 $afeminism novels. 610 $afeminist movement. 610 $agay studies. 610 $agay women. 610 $agender and sexuality. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ainspiring stories. 610 $algbt community. 610 $algbt studies. 610 $algbtq. 610 $aovercoming adversity. 610 $aovercoming racism. 610 $arace class gender studies. 610 $aracial identity. 610 $asexual orientation. 610 $asocial identity. 610 $asociology of marriage and family. 610 $astories about minorities. 610 $astories of motherhood. 610 $awomen of color. 615 0$aAfrican American lesbians$xIdentity 615 0$aAfrican American lesbians 615 0$aSame-sex marriage 615 0$aGay rights 615 0$aPuerto Rican lesbians 676 $a306.84/80899607307471 700 $aMoore$b Mignon$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01567413 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781476403321 996 $aInvisible Families$93838825 997 $aUNINA
