In their diversity, impact, subtlety, technical virtuosity, erotic appeal, and deep humanity, these photographs constitute a stunning celebration of the contemporary black male."all my life they've been near me/these men" says Ntozake Shange in her Foreword, "i've been holdin your heart in/my hand since i was a child/cause i wanted what all you were/what all you are/now you're a man." This book is a must have for anyone who is looking for more then a simply book of nude Black Men. Mapplethorpe gives life to the Lifeless and Invisible Black Man in America.

Some of the photos are truly beautiful; Great use of light and shadowing. Other are gritty, grainy Political masterpieces.
