Queerbetika: Queering Rebetika

Queerbetika is a term used to describe the queering of the genre of rebetika-an urban Greek popular song from the late 19th century to the 1950s-through academic or creative interventions. This book explores queerness and homosexuality in rebetika through its exponents, sites of performance, gay supporters and song lyrics. This is the first study and anthology in either Greek or English to investigate such an important but overlooked theme in the study of this genre.
