Recenzje

"Sexton's book provides a fresh, renewed discussion on the cinematic representation of black masculinity in an antiblack society during the twenty-first century. Placed in the context of the historical subjugation of black communities, the work provides an expansive analysis of both the representations and cultural politics that define black masculinity in media." (Kameron J. Copeland, Men and Masculinities, Vol. 22 (4), 2019)
