- Title
"ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?".
- Authors
Wilson, Ivy
- Abstract
The article seeks to underscore the gendered resonance that prefigured issues of Black masculinity in view of the need to reconsider the relationship of transnationalism to constructions of Black masculinity in the American imagination. This is explored with readings from the novel "Revolt in Ethiopia" by George Schuyler and the film "Shaft in Africa," by John Guillermin, to show how Ethiopia is imagined in twentieth century Black popular culture. Both works deploy heteronormative discourses on sexuality to articulate Black transnational politics.
