By Earl Ofari Hutchinson, Ph.D.

The Author offers a searing, controversial indictment of our society's attitudes toward black men. The black male image, he argues, has been battered, maligned, and assaulted by academics, the press, and Hollywood, as well as by some black rappers, comedians, feminists, filmmaker, and novelists--many of whom he accuses of reinforcing and profiting from, ethnic and sexual stereotypes.
