Presents the first book-length study of the sexually violent African American man, or “black beastâ€, as a composite literary phenomenon. According to Andrew Leiter, the black beast theme served as a link between the Harlem and Southern Renaissances, with writers from both movements exploring its psychological, cultural, and social ramifications.
