Masculinity in the Black Imagination: Politics of Communicating Race and Manhood (review)

often usurped by reactionary forces. With the return of social convulsions in the 21st century, Black women must continue to expose the nature of their oppression. Black Empire makes a contribution to the debate. Looming social upheavals worry the global ruling elites, however, so it is imperative that radical ideas are circumscribed. Hence, increasingly, they impose politically divisive genderbased policies upon dominated countries tied to international aid and loans. Black Empire has made no reference to this problem in the analysis of the meaning of Black internationalism for the new millennium. However, Stephens may have found a ray of hope in the ideas of C. L. R. James not only for oppressed nations, but also for “multiracial intellectual communities” and women of color–the possibility of small groups collaborating as the “ferments” to expose the critical issues confronted by the oppressed majority in the future (p. 267). Black Empire is a thoroughly researched academic product and writers such as Stephens must be encouraged. Notwithstanding, such works should be securitized to be assured that the message that they carry is in service of humanity and not in the service of a brutal, oppressive, and decadent economic order.
