It was produced in the mid-to-late 1980s and covers New York City\u2019s ball culture as well as the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender populations engaged.They have established their own revolutionary society in which they create their own families, share finances as well as housing and other necessities, and the ball world in which they can live their true identities, which are excluded from the normative worlds of womenswear, and \u00a0modeling\u00a0in different\u00a0\u00a0aspects. They\u2019re practicing identity politics outside of the ballroom, where they\u2019re still subjected to the persecution they\u2019ve temporarily left behind at the balls. It\u2019s also worth noting that politics is at play in this film. Jenny was\u00a0a white lesbian lady, that\u00a0is being\u00a0accused of being predatory by many of those who were filmed. While reading these I was able to determine what the Combahee River collective mean by \u201cidentity politics.\u201d Also how I saw this operating in\u00a0<em>Paris is Burning<\/em>. It also focused on what did race and gender have to do with capitalism, through the massive mixing of people, diverse cultural practices, and products, capitalism introduces women and men to fresh concepts. Traditional societies that impose gender hierarchy are less oppressed by capitalism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Combahee River Collective Statement reading was written between 1974 and 1980, the Combahee River Collective was a Black Feminist Lesbian organization.
