The Social Construction of Black Masculinity

An Ethnographic Study

by Steven Cureton (Author)
©2019 Monographs VIII, 166 Pages

Summary

The Social Construction of Black Masculinity examines the legacy of negotiating black masculinity in a relatively free society that forced black men to justify claims of equitable humanity. The book represents an unapologetic narrative about behavioral choices by black men, which were framed by a history of forced distancing from their covenant with God, deliberate character assassinations, and emasculation in plain sight of their women and children.
