Description
Does homosexuality remain the greatest taboo in black culture? Delroy Constantine-Simms has compiled 28 powerful, provocative essays from academics and writers of all ethnic heritages, genders, and sexualities, that explore this issue and examine the often volatile relationships between black gay men and lesbians and others of their race. Sweeping in scope - running from 19th-century slave quarters to post-apartheid South Africa, and from RuPaul to the Wu Tang Clan- this is a significant contribution to gay and black studies alike.
