Meer over het boek

The book offers a profound exploration of the historical roots of black male feminism, examining the qualities and experiences that lead black men to recognize and address women's oppression. It brilliantly argues that the absence of problematic fathers can foster a strong investment in maternal figures, which evolves into a lasting commitment to women's rights. This unique perspective sheds light on the complexities of masculinity and feminism within the black community.
