Product Description
"A Question of Manhood: A Reader in Black Men's History and Masculinity", is the first anthology of historical studies focused on themes and issues central to the construction of Black masculinities. The editors identified these essays from among several hundred articles published in recent years in leading American history journals and academic periodicals. Volume II picks up where volume I left off, continuing to focus on gender by looking at the lives of African-American men in the tumultuous period following the Civil War through the end of the nineteenth century. The writings included in volume two cover themes in the lives of black men that touch on leadership, work and the professions, family and community, sports and the military, and the image of black men in the greater society.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: A Question of Manhood: A Reader in U.S. Black Men's History and Masculinity, Vol. 1: "Manhood Rights": The Construction of Black Male History and Manhood, 1750-1870 (Blacks in the Diaspora) (Paperback)
It was an immense pleasure to read A Question of Manhood. This trail blazing and illuminating anthology of black men's history and masculinity will surely prompt many, perhaps grudgingly at times, to abandon some of their long held beliefs about the nature of the experiences of black males in American history. This excellent collection of essays will remind lay readers and scholars that a gendered analysis of women and men's history is not optional but quite necessary. Indeed, this book examines the critical role that the intersection of gender, race, and class has played in the lives of black men in American history. A Question of Manhood examines American culture at the macro level by using family, work, sexuality, and social reform movements to provide context to an unprecedented black male history. One of this books primary strengths is its ability to underscore the strength, creativity, character, and fluid nature of black masculinity throughout early American history; an appraisal which thankfully subverts the popular myth of the nihilistic, irresponsible, ravaging black male. The book's "juice," however, flows from its ability to elucidate the impact of African cultural antecedents upon African American concepts of masculinity, resistance as a racialized as well as gendered phenomenon, and occupations, such as barbering, as frequent axis' of African American male articulations of masculinity and "blackness". Magnificently constructed, this book stands as a sensitive yet powerful testament to the dynamism of black men's history. Straight forward, devoid of superfluous jargon, and replete with substantive analysis, this anthology will certainly appeal to a wide audience. Academicians and lay readers will fine this work enlightening, lucid, and timely.
