Cool Pose: The Dilemma of Black Manhood in AmericaFrom Simon & Schuster, Cool Pose explores the dilemmas of black manhood in America. Behind the mask of cool--a clear-eyed look at how African American inner-city youths defend themselves against the indignities, inequities, and injuries of ghetto life--a pose that leads to the real alienation of these young men from both the white world and their own communities. |
