This review is from: Racial Myths and Masculinity in African American Literature (Hardcover)

This is a thesis type book on the perspective of Black Male inner workings through eight historical novels about Black men.
NOT an easy read but if you are serious about deep research about the Black Male in America, this is indispensable.
I truly admire the author and his monumentous work on the Black Male characterization. Amazing work. But if your interest is not in this keep moving on. This book is not for the faint of heart...
