Through the eyes of 22 Black (or) People of Color (BPoC) hailing from diverse corners of the world, the traditional association between Black identity and masculinity is dismantled and infused with a fresh set of values. Rooted in a long history of slavery, racism, and oppression, the trope of Black masculinity continues to be subtly portrayed as aggressive, hypersexual, and violent even in modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis visually stunning book offers a comprehensive exploration of the prevalent representation mechanisms in visual culture through meticulously curated images and contextual textualization.
