Description

""Where Toni Morrison theorized 'eruptions of funk' in African American literature, this book funks the erotic taking up trans politics, nineteenth-century freaks, funky beats, and other queerly sexed subjects that make up 'profane sites of memory.'""--Jennifer Brody, author of Punctuation: Art, Politics, and Play ""Funk the Erotic is a passionately delivered and urgently necessary analysis of black sexuality, literature, and popular culture. By reading the 'funky erotixxx' of black sexual cultures against the dominant trends in black studies, L. H. Stallings offers us an alternative archive of African American literature, one composed of forgotten novels, sex manuals, YouTube videos, adult magazines, and so much more. Funk the Erotic is a bold, brilliant, unapologetically superfreaky text.""--Erica R. Edwards, author of Charisma and the Fictions of Black LeadershipSupport for this research was received from the Institute for Advanced Study at Indiana University, a research Center for the Office of the Vice Provost for Research
