Book Reviews of Beyond the Down Low: Sex, Lies, and Denial in Black America
Book Review: Leaping and Bounding to Unsubstantiated Conclusions
Summary: 1 Stars
Boykin's blog is filled with misinformation, i.e., at one point he stated West Hollywood is the product of White Gay gentrification, forcing people of color out of the neighborhood with high rents and property values. This was a statement made by a man who lived in Los Angeles for two years!
Boykin's personal agenda, largely based on having an axe to grind with anyone not sharing in his black gay narrow-mindedness, gets in the way of any cohesive or reasonable argument to be made with the book.
So reading this book came with no surprise that it is filled with stories from personal history as the ONLY means to back-up his claims.
Boykin rambles, repeats himself, and says nothing insightful or of value.
Pass on this book - it is a copy of a diary, posing as a "research effort".
