Why I Hate Abercrombie & Fitch. Essays On Race and Sexuality

In a world rife with human cruelty and opression, why waste your scorn on a popular clothing retailer? The rationale, Dwight A. McBride argues, lies in "the banality of evil", or the quiet way driscriminatory hiring practices and racist ad campaigns seep into the reflect malevolent undertones in American culture. McBride maintains this issues of race and sexuality are often subtle and always messy, and his compelling new book does not offer simple answers. Instead, in a collection of essays about such diverse topics as biased marketing strategies, black gay media representations, the role of African American studies in higher education, gay personal ads, and pornography, each chapter speaks a version of the truth about black gay male life.
