Planet Drag

Lavishly photographed and rich in luscious detail, this History of Drag Culture is illuminating and revealing. Useful for both aficionados and those who are less cognizant of the vast extent of Drag Culture, this volume will provide an eye-opening and affirmative education as well as being an attractive addition to a stylish bookshelf or coffee table.

Beautiful and stunning book that is perfect for fans of drag or those wanting to get into it!
If there was ever a need for there to be a "Bible" for Drag, I would recommend this as a contender.
Absolutely loved it and the photography is amazing.

Oh my gosh, the picturesss! This book is everything, I cannot wait to get a copy for my shelf. Drag is such a beautiful art form but I love that all the of the different histories, good and difficult, are included! Really enjoyed this one

A great look into the history of drag around the world. I especially love that it doesn't just focus on the countries with Drag Race franchises that are more well known, but also shows that there's more to drag than what's in the mainstream. This is definitely a book I would recommend to my friends.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.

Enjoyable both mentally and visibly. The history of drag in each region and learning about the indigenous cultures was really fascinating and something I truly never thought about

Highly recommended for all drag lover and those who don't understand, but want to.

I have followed Courtney online for several years so I was very excited when I saw her name and the beautiful cover. This was such a great read, it was full of well known names and faces. It also gave me insight to queens who I hadn't heard of previously but I now look forward to getting to know them. Thank you for such a diverse collection of drag across the globe complete with beautiful photography that really brings drag to life.

This book is perfect for fans of drag and want to know more about the culture, history, and how it is celebrated in various countries.

This was a fascinating read and I learned a lot more about the history of drag that has given me a greater appreciation for how hard and long it took for it to become more mainstream. While drag and the 2SLGBTQI+ community continue to fight to make strides in society today, there has been a lot of progress and much to celebrate, while honouring the past and those who suffered.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about how drag is practiced in difference countries - the trends, the histories. It really goes to show that there is no one universal or 'right' way to do drag and that it is really quite limitless.
While there were many references to RuPaul's Drag Race and it's impact on and inclusion in mainstream culture, the book goes well beyond that, using the popularity of the show as a launching point to bring the reader into the other aspects of drag community and culture.

Really well done and the photographs included only served to highlight and complement the text.

Thanks to the publisher for the eARC; all opinions are my own.

Really fun book but the digital arc does not do it justice. Will definitely be getting a physical copy when this gets released.

An interesting look at counter culture fashion in an age that is starting to acknowledge humanity isn’t binary.

Courtney Conquers' Planet Drag is an absolute must-have for any drag enthusiast. This stunningly illustrated volume takes readers on a whirlwind tour of the global drag scene, from Tokyo's vibrant streets to New York City's iconic stages.

Conquers' writing is both informative and engaging. It offers a deep dive into the history, culture, and artistry of drag. The book is filled with stunning photographs that capture drag performers' unique beauty and diversity worldwide.

Whether you're a seasoned drag fan or simply curious about this captivating art form, Planet Drag is a must-read. It celebrates creativity, self-expression, and the power of community.

Thank you, Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion | White Lion Publishing, for the free advanced copy for my honest review!

Absolutely spectacular world history of drag. A little shallow in places, but with so many different regions represented, it had to be. That being said, clearly each chapter could have been a full book. Absolutely fascinating. Very readable and excellent images included.

Beautiful book giving history of drag and Drag Queens around the world. I loved the photos and illustrations so much. I love learning the history of anything interesting and for me drag is one of the most interesting things in the world. I love it as a form of self expression, I love it as an art form, I love it's mere existence. I love that it can bring people together and teach acceptance. Thank you for the pleasure of reading this beautiful book.
