"McWhorter (philosophy and women's studies, Univ. of Richmond) has written an important book on the study of race and sexuality studies. The use of historical context and the theoretical examination of terminology are significant. The author clarifies the issues that arise when parties contend that sexual preference discrimination is different from discrimination based on race. The historical discussion of race and the issues of racial discrimination followed by cultural events such as the Civil Rights Movement establish a much-needed context for the study of discrimination issues. By using definition, theory, and discussion of 'normality' and 'abnormality' as put forth by Foucault, McWhorter is able to highlight issues of sexual discrimination within the Anglo-American world. This text offers many insights into the topic of homophobia and discrimination in the US. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-level philosophy and gender studies, as well as a reference for professors. Choice"

A moving and engaged book that is evidently the product of several years of intense research worn effortlessly.
A significant contribution to our understandings of the concept of race, with particular emphasis on its intersections with concepts of sexuality, and more largely, abnormality.
