Meet the authors of Appealing Because He Is Appalling: Black Masculinities, Colonialism, and Erotic Racism, edited by Tamari Kitossa. This collection of original essays written by transnational scholars invites us to rethink the ways African-descended men are seen as both appealing and appalling, are exposed to eroticized hatred and violence and how some resist, accommodate, and capitalize on their eroticization. Drawing on James Baldwin and Frantz Fanon, the authors examine the contradictions, paradoxes, and politico-psychosexual implications of Black men as objects of sexual desire, fear, and loathing in the transnational context. Appealing Because He Is Appalling’s editor and select contributors will describe their work, participate in a discussion, and engage with the audience.
Chair: Jennifer Adkins, University of British Columbia
Hosted by the Canadian Sociological Association’s Race and Ethnicity Research Cluster.

Commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization (EDID)
UAlberta Press promotes EDID efforts in our publishing program and across the academy. Most recently, we signed the Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences’s Charter on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization in the Social Sciences and Humanities. We have also expressed our support for the Black Canadian Studies Association’s calls to address systemic racism at Congress, and we recommit to supporting EDID principles at this and future conferences.
