Description
"This important and ground-breaking book engages questions of mothering and rearing young Black boys from a Black feminist perspective. Lomax offers a rare blend of compelling storytelling together with both deep engagements with contemporary Black culture, history, and feminist theory. Loving Black Boys is a compelling defense of Black boyhood as a category whose integrity should be maintained. The adultification of Black children is a social crisis and this book offers an important corrective."--Brittney Cooper, author of, Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower
