A daring collaboration among scholars, Black Sexual Economies
challenges thinking that sees black sexualities as a threat to
normative ideas about sexuality, the family, and the nation. The
essays highlight alternative and deviant gender and sexual
identities, performances, and communities, and spotlights the
sexual labor, sexual economy, and sexual agency to black social
life. Throughout, the writers reveal the lives, everyday
negotiations, and cultural or aesthetic interventions of black
gender and sexual minorities while analyzing the systems and
beliefs that structure the possibilities that exist for all black
sexualities. They also confront the mechanisms of domination and
subordination attached to the political and socioeconomic forces,
cultural productions, and academic work that interact with the
energies at the nexus of sexuality and race. Contributors: Marlon

"32-Red" and "Berlin by Christmas" combine to become "The Enigmatic
Mr Phelps" The sequel to the late 1990's set "32-Red," brings Oscar
Phelps into the new century with a certain gusto and a very
personal mission to be relentlessly pursued. "32-Red" and the
previously unpublished "Berlin by Christmas" provide in combination
for the delivery of a Vintage Story of Elaborate Subterfuge,
Contemporary Murder, Moot Conscience and Guiltless Precision. Woven
amidst a Rich Tapestry of Traditional Values and Delicious
Amorality. Oscar Phelps is a little older, a little wiser, but
still constantly in search. This International Thriller follows the
exploits of "32-Red"'s Fraudster, Psychopath, Manipulator,
Impresario, Raconteur, Wit, Killer and Friend as he continues
relentless pursuit of the song of life. Oscar has survived into the
third millennium with enhanced knowledge, decorum and wit. His
business "associations" take him now to the Raffles city of
Singapore, experiencing the antiquities of Venice, the zest of Hong
Kong, the last great bastion of the Empire. To Budapest, Paris,
London, Nice, San Francisco, Niagara, Tokyo, Australia and a
rejuvenated Berlin. Oscar has a new nemesis, a new "Buffalo"
Bertram Keelan to contend with. This time, a more worthy, more
dangerous and ultimately more personal adversary. Recently widowed,
Oscar finds himself seeking to avenge the death of his wife Lori.
Killed by a mis-directed act of aggression from an unlikely
assailant. Oscar begins his quest with the help of friends on whom
he can rely. Plotting his objectives, without conscience, limit or
boundary. Oscar the anti-hero, the "Dear, Dear Boy" will not allow
anyone or anything to stop him as he flushesout his prey. With
loyal Bostonian henchman Trent Alexis in tow, Oscar moves from
within his shroud of sadness, stridently, purposefully, full of
guile, with The Wisdom to Remember and the Courage to effect
Change.
