Book Reviews of Are We Not Men?: Masculine Anxiety and the Problem of African-American Identity

Book Review: famous scholar, great topic, terrible book
Summary: 1 Stars

I didn't like this book at all. I thought it said very little about masculinity and African-American men. Harper is practically the best-known black gay male scholar out there and yet almost every book about gay black men that I've ever read was better than this one. This book is buried in tedious literary criticism. When I think of this book, only two words come to mind, "poor" and "disappointment."
