Reviews

A brilliantly sophisticated recasting of black southerners (especially black males), white hegemony, race, gender, and sexuality in the United States. Utilizing the finest insights of cultural geography, post-Freudian psychology, rural studies, and popular culture and black masculinity criticism and theory, the author illuminates... no... theoretically gives birth to a South and a method for its study unlike any we have known before. - Houston A. Baker Jr., editor of American Literature
