Résumé:

"Herlands, a compelling account of women's land networks in the United States, highlights the ongoing relevance of these communities as vibrant cultural enclaves that also have an impact on broader ideas about gender, women's bodies, lesbian identity, and right ways of living. As a participant-observer, Keridwen N. Luis brings unique insights to the lives and stories of the women living in these communities. While documenting the experiences of specific spaces in Massachusetts, Tennessee, New Mexico, and Ohio, Herlands also explores the history of women's lands and breaks new ground analyzing culture theory, gender theory, and how lesbian identity is conceived and constructed in North America"-- Provided by publisher.
