Buller Men and Batty Bwoys:
Hidden Men in Toronto and Halifax Black Communities
From: In a Queer Country
$0.42
In this essay, Wesley Crichlow considers the various dynamics of closeting for black gay men from two cities and from a number of ethnicities. It is an example of contemporary developments in ethnographic studies, in which the participant observer is actually a member of the community, rather than an outsider temporarily moving in for his/her scholarly interests.
