Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

Rikki Beadle-Blair and Team Angelica Books invites you to the launch of John R Gordon's ground-breaking book Drapetomania- A story of gay love in the time of slavery. When house-servant Abednego is sold away south, his heartbroken field-hand lover Cyrus snaps and flees the estate on which he has lived his entire life. Leaving everything he knows behind him, evading patrollers and dogs as he attempts to head north, in the midst of a dismal swamp Cyrus receives the revelation that Abednego is his true North Star, and, impossible though it seems, he determines to find and rescue his lost lover from slavery. Ten years in the writing, Drapetomania is an epic tale of black freedom, uprising, and a radical representation of romantic love between black men in slavery times.
