Routledge Classics- Black Sexual Politics

A tour de force of writing about sex, gender, race and much more besides, the message of Black Sexual Politics is one that resonates today as upon the book's first publication. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Preface by the author. In this groundbreaking book, one of the foremost writers on race and gender brilliantly maps the complex intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in contemporary American society. Patricia Hill Collins explores how the construction of stereotypical images—from the "welfare mom" to the "brutish athlete" and "irresponsible father"—perpetuate a new form of racism that continues to oppress African Americans. With remarkable insight, she deftly dissects how these distorted representations impact love relationships, youth culture and sexuality, Interracial romance, sexual violence and the HIV/AIDS crisis in Black communities. Above all, Collins make a clarion call for the Black community to address the voices of women and LGBTQ+ individuals, otherwise, without which the Black community will never be able to address its liberal progressive agenda. A tour de force of writing about sex, gender, race and much more besides, the message of Black Sexual Politics is one that resonates today as upon the book's first publication.
