Publisher description
With a winning combination of sensitivity, candor, and humor, William July II answers the question, "How do you deal with black male sexuality without falling prey to racist stereotypes?" July describes his book as "one small step about setting the record straight about the realities of black men... The majority of us are hard working, tax-paying, common Americans who get up and go to work every morning." He also wants Brothers, Lust, and Love "to give people a new understanding of black men and their relationships." July accomplishes this by dealing with several taboo topics: the harm of television stereotyping to kids, the society-bred antagonism between black men and women, interracial dating, and the expectations African American women have of their men. Concluding with sample questions to spark discussion July brilliantly synthesizes Terry McMillan's frankness and the on-point analysis of psychiatrist Dr. Alvin Poussaint to produce a truly healing document that may lead to less talking and more loving. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
