Abstract
[...]the questions that black males ask other black males are questions about soul searching; questions that begin to dismantle the myths and misconceptions that have evolved around race and gender in America; questions about finding a sense of self and how we relate to each other; questions about being and becoming; questions of healing wounds, of restoration, and communal empowerment; and questions that inspire liberated visions of the self and help to build a bridge back to ourselves and to each other. The book is further structured by six themed chapters: “Identity,” “Education, Community, and Family,” “Relationships and Sexuality,” “History and Politics,” “Representation and Media,” and “Last Word”-followed by five short essays with a list of selected resources, biographies, and acknowledgments. “The Conversation” by Bayeté Ross Smith articulates a history of the broader Question Bridge project in which the book accompanied a five-channel video installation that toured the United States, including its debut at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012 and appearances at other venues.
