Michael Gouker reviewed White Women, Black Men by Martha Hodes
Review of 'White Women, Black Men' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
So depressing... This is a serious effort to parse the suffering of slavery and its aftermath in America, focusing on relationships between men and women. This book dashes many of the stereotypes I previously held (the misogyny was even more horrific than the racism, if you can believe it), but you come away with a passionate mistrust of the human soul. Scary shit.
