Review of 'Hung' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Investigates sexploitation of black men in history and popular culture and points to a direction forward. A positive book built on the ashes of our screwed-up society! It is explicit and solidly researched by an informed interviewer who has great access and excellent questions.

"And white men, history has shown us, anointed black men with the hypermasculine role that is, cleverly, as corrosive as it is celebratory."

I am working on a project for my class about the African diaspora, including the vestiges of slavery. This is one of the books that has helped resolve the subject for me. Beyond Slavery is another.
