Stockton, Kathryn. "Beautiful Bottom, Beautiful Shame: Where Black Meets Queer", Duke University Press, 2006.
Extremely Difficult to Read
Amos Lassen
Where black and queer come together us the subject of Kathryn Stockton's study. She shows how the negativity of shame, humiliation, debasement, and abjection affects those who are black and queer. According to the author, it is shame is what brings the world of black and gay together and those marked as members of this group have suffered greatly. These feelings can be used for artistic efforts.
Using the areas of African American studies, queer theory, film theory, semiotics, gender studies, photography and psychoanalysis as a means to find answers, Stockton brings thinkers and theorists together to show that the terms of "gay" and "black" are not directly related but come together out of some kind of need.
This is a scholarly study and it is quite difficult to read and if one is not familiar with the language of discourse it is quite easy to become lost reading this. I found myself drowning in the language so I can surmise that this is not a
book for everyone.
