Title A name given to the resource Craig Russell (1948-1990) Description An account of the resource Craig Russell, Canadian female impersonator, stage actor and entertainer, writer and movie star, was born in Toronto. At 13, Mr. Russell formed the Mae West International Fan Club and by 15, he made the first of several trips to California to work for West while perfecting his impersonations of her. A high school dropout, he worked as a professional hairdresser while performing his female impersonations at gay clubs in Toronto. Others in his repertoire included Miss Peggy Lee, Judy Garland, Carol Channing and Barbra Streisand. He performed in both North American and European circuits gathering many fans. The loosely, autobiographical film, Outrageous, in 1977 provided Russell a vehicle for his impersonations making him an international star and winning a Silver Bear Award for Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival in 1978. In the 1970s and 1980s, Russell toured extensively and returned to Toronto in 1982 to film Too Outrageous! Craig Russell lived a tumultuous life complicated with mental illness, alcoholism and AIDS; but, his stage and screen persona served as a role model to female impersonators and drag queens around the world.

Title A name given to the resource Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability Subject The topic of the resource Crip Studies Description An account of the resource Crip Theory attends to the contemporary cultures of disability and queerness that are coming out all over. Both disability studies and queer theory are centrally concerned with how bodies, pleasures, and identities are represented as 'normal' or as abject, but Crip Theory is the first book to analyze thoroughly the ways in which these interdisciplinary fields inform each other. Drawing on feminist theory, African American and Latino/a cultural theories, composition studies, film and television studies, and theories of globalization and counter-globalization, Robert McRuer articulates the central concerns of crip theory and considers how such a critical perspective might impact cultural and historical inquiry in the humanities. Crip Theory puts forward readings of the Sharon Kowalski story, the performance art of Bob Flanagan, and the journals of Gary Fisher, as well as critiques of the domesticated queerness and disability marketed by the Millennium March, or Bravo TV's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. McRuer examines how dominant and marginal bodily and sexual identities are composed, and considers the vibrant ways that disability and queerness unsettle and re-write those identities in order to insist that another world is possible.
