Title: mediocre book on a great subject
Product review: I'm glad that another lesbian & gay black anthology exists, but I wasn't particularly impressed with this book. I thought Hemphill's "Brother to Brother" and even "Afrekete" were much better books. Maybe due to the Canadian-British-diasporic scope, this book dealt with blacks in far whiter milieux and seemed a tad white-washed. Notice how the book has "queer" in the title when almost no African-American gay text does. I think the editors did not have much vision with this collection either. It's not terrible, but it could have been better.
