Description
To represent, to affirm, to understand, and to live black sexualities can be immeasurably difficult. The very foundations of politics, social life'and, as this volume argues, capitalist economies'in the modern world often hinge on pathologizing black people's sexuality in order to exploit and to destroy black bodies and black lives. Black feminist innovator Adrienne Davis curates here essays that batter down and deftly navigate the thicket of lies that try to render 'black sexuality' unspeakable and unknowable, and point the way forward.--Darieck Scott, author of Extravagant Abjection: Blackness, Power, and Sexuality in the African American Literary Imagination
