"I Think Of That Mountain As My Maternal Grandmother" Constructing Self And Other Through Landscape, Jane Hindman

Publications and Research

A negative image of the homosexual must be promoted to preserve the heterosexual society, an idea that extends to the construction of African-American masculinity.

The resulting presumption that blacks are subhuman and irrational comes from the history of slavery and the presumed separateness of the race.
