Black Sexualities: Probing Powers, Passions, Practices, and Policies Paperback – November 24, 2009
Purchase options and add-ons
Why does society have difficulty discussing sexualities? Where does fear of Black sexualities emerge and how is it manifested? How can varied experiences of Black females and males who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT), or straight help inform dialogue and academic inquiry?
From questioning forces that have constrained sexual choices to examining how Blacks have forged healthy sexual identities in an oppressive environment, Black Sexualities acknowledges the diversity of the Black experience and the shared legacy of racism. Contributors seek resolution to Blacks' understanding of their lives as sexual beings through stories of empowerment, healing, self-awareness, victories, and other historic and contemporary life-course panoramas and provide practical information to foster more culturally relative research, tolerance, and acceptance.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Filled with provocative arguments and illuminating insights, Black Sexualities marks a new and exciting epoch in the study of human sexuality and its interactions with race and class; a must-read for scholars and students of ethnic studies and human sexuality." -- Rafael Díaz ― Cesar E. Chavez Institute, San Francisco State University Published On: 2009-01-28
"A path breaking contribution and the definite resource for interdisciplinary scholars in the growing field of Black sexualities. A highly sophisticated intervention that fills the existing void of empirical research in this area, while drawing from and critically engaging with the social and behavioral science literature. This volume will forever challenge us to rethink the categories, methods and approaches scholars use in this rapidly developing field of study." -- Arlene Dávila ― author of Latino Spin: Public Image and the Whitewashing of Race Published On: 2011-01-01
"Excellent for courses in black, Latino/a, women's, and LGBT studies, and sociology. Highly recommended." ― Choice Published On: 2010-05-01
