Reviews

The dean of Black family studies has done it again through this scopic examination of Black sexuality in a society hopelessly committed to capital and profits over social justice and equality. Unlike recent books on Black sexuality, which are concerned with gaining university tenure and positioning Black scholars vis- -vis whites in practically all-white academic departments, Staples captures the sexual mores, folkways, and values among African Americans. Like one of his earlier works, Black Masculinity, this book keeps it real and should be required reading.--Anthony J. Lemelle, Jr.
