Abstract

Abstract:Most critics of William Demby's Love Story Black have focused on its gender politics and satirical treatment of the Black Power movement. This essay focuses on the novel's under-examined references to homosexual identity and positions these "funny" figures within a broader queer discourse that reflects Demby's interests in artistic performances, racial-sexual trauma, and unconventional approaches to time.

期刊介绍： As the official publication of the Division on Black American Literature and Culture of the Modern Language Association, the quarterly journal African American Review promotes a lively exchange among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who hold diverse perspectives on African American literature and culture. Between 1967 and 1976, the journal appeared under the title Negro American Literature Forum and for the next fifteen years was titled Black American Literature Forum. In 1992, African American Review changed its name for a third time and expanded its mission to include the study of a broader array of cultural formations.
