In doing so, \u003ci\u003eDrag Race\u003c\/i\u003e became not only a repository of queer history and culture, but also an examination and illustration of queer life in the modern age. It is a snapshot of how LGBTQ folks live, struggle, work, and reach out to one another--and how they always have--and every bit of it is tied directly to \u003ci\u003eDrag Race\u003c\/i\u003e. Each chapter is an examination of a specific aspect of the show--the Werk Room, the Library, the Pit Crew, the runway, the Untucked lounge, the Snatch Game--that ties to a specific aspect of queer cultural history and\/or the work of certain legendary figures in queer cultural history.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380427063551,"sku":"9780143134626","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143134626_s600x595.jpg?v=1775585931","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780143134626","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
