Brothers, Lust, and Love (Revised and Expanded Edition): Thoughts on Manhood, Sex, and Romance - Softcover
Synopsis
William July, II is an author to watch. In June 1996, his self-published Brothers, Lust, and Love: Thoughts on Manhood, Sex, and Romance climbed onto two bestseller lists. Now, in this revised, expanded edition of this underground sensation, July shrewdly examines exactly what's going on between African American men and women. He explains:
Why women expect too much from men, and why men want too little
Why black men date white women, and why some call them traitors for doing it
The five things most men want to change about women
The real reason it's so hard for black men and women to get along
How popular TV shows teach kids harmful stereotypes about couples
Why the black gender war is raging, and how it can be stopped
An engaging and informative book, Brothers, Lust, and Love reveals what every woman wants to know about her man, and what every man needs to know about himself.

Review
With a winning combination of sensitivity, candor, and humor, William July II answers the question, "How do you deal with black male sexuality without falling prey to racist stereotypes?" July describes his book as "one small step about setting the record straight about the realities of black men... The majority of us are hard working, tax-paying, common Americans who get up and go to work every morning." He also wants Brothers, Lust, and Love "to give people a new understanding of black men and their relationships." July accomplishes this by dealing with several taboo topics: the harm of television stereotyping to kids, the society-bred antagonism between black men and women, interracial dating, and the expectations African American women have of their men. Concluding with sample questions to spark discussion July brilliantly synthesizes Terry McMillan's frankness and the on-point analysis of psychiatrist Dr. Alvin Poussaint to produce a truly healing document that may lead to less talking and more loving. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
