The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Dwight McBride, Vincent Woodard

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.75

The Delectable Negro ending with a reminder that queer Black people have always been here, we brought this shit over from the motherland; there have always been gay people, bi people, lesbians, trans people, we have always had a fluid and multitextured relationship with gender and sexuality pre-christianity/pre-colonialism, and I am THRILLED! Everyone needs to read this book, everyone needs to have their noggins ROCKED, like deal with the levels and layers of homoeroticism and cannibalism, the destruction of the black body through the erasing (or eating...) of history, get into the sensual and reproductive (ahem, the fecundity) of the Black anus AH! Have your gourd BLASTED!
