- Description
- hooks examines what black males fear most (maternal sadism, loss, emasculation), their needs and desires (an ability to engage with intimacy, or meaningful relationships with their fathers). She looks at the way patriarchal thought and action undermine black male self-esteem and urges black men to resist victimhood and embrace accountability for their own lives.
