Race Men (W.E.B. Du Bois Lectures)

By Hazel V. Carby

Book Overview

Who are the race men standing for black America? It is a question Hazel Carby rejects, along with its long-standing assumption: that a particular type of black male can represent the race. A critique of definitions of black masculinity at work in American culture, this text shows how defining images play out socially, culturally, and politically for black and white society - and how they exclude women altogether.
