EXCERPT: “Close the door.” He said. I wasn’t… oh, damn. I closed the door. This was just getting weird now, but thanks to my stupid promise to myself I was forcing myself to go through with it. “On your knees, boy.” The voice had changed now that we were alone. It was still firm and commanding, but it had softened. The hard edge had gone off it somewhat, something that reassured me. I wondered how he could see me in this dark, my eyes still blind. “Alright. Good. Now, I want you to take off your shorts.” I looked around. Couldn’t see a damn thing. I took off my sweatpants, guessing he couldn’t see too well either if he thought I was in shorts...

  • Author : Simon Dickel
  • Publisher : MSU Press
  • Release : 2012-06-01
  • ISBN : 1628954868
  • Pages : 381 pages

Download or read book Black Gay written by Simon Dickel and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores key texts of the black gay culture of the 1980s and ’90s. Starting with an analysis of the political discourse in anthologies such as In the Life and Brother to Brother, it identifies the references to the Harlem Renaissance and the Protest Era as common elements of black gay discourse. This connection to African American cultural and political traditions legitimizes black gay identity and criticizes the construction of gay identity as white. Readings of Isaac Julien’s Looking for Langston, Samuel R. Delany’s “Atlantis: Model 1924” and The Motion of Light in Water, Melvin Dixon’s Vanishing Rooms, Randall Kenan’s A Visitation of Spirits, and Steven Corbin’s No Easy Place to Be demonstrate how these strategies of signifying are used in affirmative, humorous, and ironic ways.

Book Appealing Because He Is Appalling

Download or read book Appealing Because He Is Appalling written by Tamari Kitossa and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2021-07-02 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection invites us to think about how African-descended men are seen as both appealing and appalling, and exposed to eroticized hatred and violence and how some resist, accommodate, and capitalize on their eroticization. Drawing on James Baldwin and Frantz Fanon, the contributors examine the contradictions, paradoxes, and politico-psychosexual implications of Black men as objects of sexual desire, fear, and loathing. Kitossa and the contributing authors use Baldwin’s and Fanon’s cultural and psychoanalytic interpretations of Black masculinities to demonstrate their neglected contributions to thinking about and beyond colonialist and Western gender and masculinity studies. This innovative and sophisticated work will be of interest to scholars and students of cultural and media studies, gender and masculinities studies, sociology, political science, history, and critical race and racialization. Contributors: Katerina Deliovsky, Delroy Hall, Dennis O. Howard, Elishma Khokhar, Tamari Kitossa, Kemar McIntosh, Leroy F. Moore Jr., Watufani M. Poe, Satwinder Rehal, John G. Russell, Mohan Siddi

Download or read book Beyond Loving written by Amy C. Steinbugler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Loving provides a critical examination of interracial intimacy in the beginning decades of the twenty-first century-an era rife with racial contradictions, where interracial relationships are increasingly seen as symbols of racial progress even as old stereotypes about illicit eroticism persist. Drawing on extensive qualitative research, Amy Steinbugler examines the racial dynamics of everyday life for lesbian, gay, and heterosexual Black/White couples. She disputes the notion that interracial partners are enlightened subjects who have somehow managed to "get beyond" race. Instead, for many partners, interracial intimacy represents not the end, but the beginning of a sustained process of negotiating racial differences. Her research reveals the ordinary challenges that partners frequently face and the myriad ways that race shapes their interactions with each other as well as with neighbors, family members, co-workers and strangers. Steinbugler analyzes the everyday actions and strategies through which individuals maintain close relationships in a society with deeply-rooted racial inequalities-what she calls "racework." Beyond Loving reveals interracial intimacy as an ongoing process rather than a singular accomplishment. This analytic shift helps us reach a new understanding of how race "works"-not just in intimate spheres, but across all facets of contemporary social life.
