My review of Candice Jenkins' "Black Bourgeois"

Recently I was invited by the journal ​African American Review to provide a review of Candice Jenkins' book Black Bourgeois: Class & Sex in the Flesh (University of Minnesota Press, 2019). The latest edition of African American Review (Spring/Summer 2021)​ features my review, in which I discuss how Black Bourgeois examines a phenomenon that Jenkins calls "the black and bourgeois dilemma" (6), a conundrum that defines the lived experiences of the middle-class Black subject who enjoys the protection of material wealth while simultaneously enduring the precarity of blackness. ​To learn more about my thoughts on Jenkins' book, you can access my full review here.
