Review
2 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Mercer is the man (if I remember correctly).By Jeffery MingoBoth professors and students quote hooks; Hall; and Bhabha all the time; yet few refer to Mercers work. I find this to be such a wasted opportunity. In this collection; he writes on diverse topics such as Robert Mapplethorpe; black hair; Michael Jackson; etc. I saw him once in person and he kinda reminds me of a black George Michael. This was strong cultural studies that I think many black thinkers and gay thinkers (and when I say "thinkers" that includes "paper writers) should find useful. I dont agree with all of his conclusions. Still; there is so much here that would make any paper in cultural criticism look very well informed. My only question for the author would be: "When are readers going to get more great works of yours like this out there?!"
