This is a very academic text exploring the history of pornography and it's relation to race and representations of Black people. This book really opened my eyes to a new perspective on understanding racialized pornography. The author takes great steps to lay out their arguments and place their work in the broader cannon of Black feminist understanding and critiques of pornography. I came away with more thoughts and questions than clear answers, but sometimes that can be all I need from a book, especially one that is so theoretical and sociological in nature.
