All Boys Aren't Blue: A Memoir Manifesto

Description

All Boys Aren't Blue, written by George M. Johnson, is a memoir-manifesto that explores the author's experiences as a queer Black youth growing up in America. Through a series of personal essays, Johnson shares his journey of self-discovery, touching upon topics such as family, friendship, identity, and the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality.

The memoir provides a candid look into the challenges faced by Black queer individuals, including discrimination, homophobia, and toxic masculinity, while also celebrating the love, support, and resilience that can be found within chosen families and communities.

Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, the book is recommended by the publisher for readers aged 14 and up.
