FROM THE PUBLISHER\;
Drawing on critical race theory and empirical data from case studies involving fifty men of African descent\, this book presents a new perspective on black masculinity\, maleness\, sexism\, and institutional racism. The book situates black masculinity in a racial\, socio-historical\, and postcolonial context to provide innovative ways of understanding the profound effects of institutional racism. Although its focus is primarily on people of African descent\, the book addresses issues concerning all races and ethnicities\, explores the harmful effects of sexism and homophobia on women and queer people\, and proposes practical steps that can be taken to fight against socio-economic inequity and injustice that is racially\, gender\, and sexually-based. Given the practical nature and interdisciplinary dimension of this book\, readers and educators studying race\, racism\, sexism\, and gender issues will find it germane to their needs and their classes.
