Title: Godless circumcisions
Description: Godless Circumcisions is a witty and forceful study of race, sex and politics in contemporary culture. Personal and poetic, these essays, poems and biographical trysts disrobe issues central to the black, queer and working class existences. Wilson speaks fluently fluctuating between academic authority, queer griot and matter-of-fact honesty to issues of racial-sexual terror; masculine anxiety; how Black men learn the erotic, sex and vulnerability; the stereotypes of Black and BlaQueer people in the United States. Paying special attention to the costs of assimilation or cultural circumcisions Wilson invites the reader on his personal and political journey to a practice of critical love ethics.
