description: A literary critical study of the forms of intimacy within a marginalized and stigmatized social group. The author describes the process of ridicule, exclusion, destitution, imprisonment, and rhetorical silencing in an historical period when spirited change was in the air. Though this book does not neglect the resisting black men (many of whom were homosexual), it concentrates on the humiliated and dominated black women.
