Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book is suited for readers interested in contemporary discussions of race, masculinity, and personal narrative within American society.

Being black and male is a serious business, but its absurd contradictions are often too funny for words. This book leads readers on a no-holds-barred tour of the author's masculine development, acknowledging some deep but often hilarious truths about black men.

Description

How does it feel to be a black man in America? It hurts, but in a beautiful way. So Shawn Taylor says—and a lot more—in this unapologetic and sharply critical exploration of the hatred and anxiety that American society harbours toward black men, and the fear and confusion that black men harbour toward themselves.

Mixing humour, rage, and startling vulnerability, Taylor leads us on a no-holds-barred tour of his own masculine development: negotiating his young life without a father, getting shot, and forming all manner of relationships with women.

Big Black Penis, winner of the DIY Book Festival, brings the conversation on black masculinity into the 21st century.
