A bold and nuanced attempt to question prevailing ideas about community, desire, politics and culture
Robert F. Reid-Pharr is Professor of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Harvard University. He is the author of four books: Archives of Flesh: African America, Spain, and Post-Humanist Critique (NYU Press, 2016), Once You Go Black: Choice, Desire, and the Black American Intellectual (NYU Press, 2007), Black Gay Man: Essays (NYU Press, 2001), and Conjugal Union: The Body, the House, and the Black American (1999).
"Startling and provocative... Reid-Pharr presents a cogent analysis that combines the personal with the political, the intellectual with the emotional and the erotic... Reid-Pharr's ability to move these works-and their themes-from the limited analysis of the academy into a broader realm of lived experience and social context that makes them, as well as Reid-Pharr's own thoughts, vital and genuinely consequential." Publisher's Weekly "Repeated readings are richly rewarded." CHOICE "Reid-Pharr brilliantly puts the ambivalences of bodily pleasure back into the serious business of identity politics."
