About This Item
Don Mills, ON, Canada: Oxford University Press, 1996. First Printing of First Edition . Hard Back. Very Good/As New. 6" x 9 1/2. 254 pages indexed. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs. Harper explores issues of race and representation and shows that ideas about black masculinity have always played a troubled role both in the formation of African-American identity and in the mass media at large. What is at stake when a picture of O J Simpson is darkened on the cover of Time magazine? Why is AIDS still seen as a white gay disease when a quarter of deaths from AIDS from 1981-1991 were among black males? Harper investigates these questions in an effort to show the ways in which narrow definitions of black manhood have failed to acknowledge real differences with the African-American community to grave social and political effect. An original, far-reaching and ultimate humane work of cultural criticism that will find a wide audience among those interested in American and African-American cultural studies, gender studies and gay-lesbian studies. Dust jacket price 30.00 is unclipped.
