Beyond the Down Low
Keith Boykin, a former Clinton White House aide, syndicated columnist, and AIDS activist, breaks new ground by going beyond the hype with the first responsible, eye-opening look at the down low sensation. Unlike all previous accounts on the topic, Beyond the Down Low refreshingly presents the DL not merely as a problem of gay and bisexual men living in the shadows and endangering women, but more broadly as a telling example of the African-American community's overall failure to engage in critical but uncomfortable conversations about sexuality. Boykin details how the virtual silence from black leaders on sex matters has helped to create an environment where gay and bisexual men feel compelled to lead double lives. Meanwhile, the dialogue that has occurred both inside and out of African-American circles encourages an unhealthy battle of the sexes, ignores the complexities of the closet, demonizes homosexuality and bisexuality, disempowers women from personal responsibility to protect themselves from STDs, and misdirects public resources and attention at vilifying down low men.
Intermere
Intermere explores the journey of a man lost in a shipwreck, saved by the commander of an obscured ancient country, Intermere. The man is instructed in Intermere's outstanding technology, economics, and methods of government. Themes on term limits for politicians, the fair distribution of wealth, and a system of encouragement and reward for scientific progress are introduced by the author, William Alexander Taylor. In this utopian community, women are allowed to earn only half as much as men and cannot vote. Divorce is unknown, and Intermere's citizens are believed not to have a sense of humor. It is an incredible work where all the ideas about the utopian society are articulately presented by the author. The illustrations are vivid, and the intriguing characters and the storyline keeps the readers curious throughout the book.
