Why I Hate Abercrombie & Fitch: Essays on Race and Sexuality is a book by Dwight A. McBride on ethno-relational mores in contemporary gay African America with a nod to black, feminist and queer cultural contexts "dedicated to integrating sexuality and race into black and queer studies."[1]

Publication history

McBride published the book while serving as dean of the Graduate School at Northwestern University, where he was Chair of the Department of African American Studies from 2002 to 2007. The book was published by New York University Press.

Content

The book is divided into three main sections: "Queer Black Thought", "Race and Sexuality on Occasion" and "Straight Black Talk", all exploring facets of the intersections of race, sexuality, class and gender issues. The often personal essays speak to the "ghettoization of black men in gay male porn"[2] to broader subjects including the book's namesake Abercrombie & Fitch and how the clothing retailer influences the gay African-American male. McBride has been recognized as a specialist in bridging LGBT and racial issues illuminating both.[3]

Reception

The book has been used in queer studies[4][5][6] as well as related college courses in universities[7][8][9] McBride was a guest speaker at several universities speaking about the essay's subjects of race and sexuality in America.[10][11][12]

In his review for GLQ: A Journal of Gay and Lesbian Studies, Rinaldo Walcott said, "McBride's multidisciplinary essays cross-pollinate black studies and queer theory to challenge both fields to account for their blind spots, their key debates, and their claims to authority."[13]

In her review for Women's Studies Quarterly, Khary Polk said the book's combination of "polemic and erotic memoir" created "a lithe intellectual portrait of a black gay Christian man's journey into academe."[14]

Awards

The collection of essays "offering contemporary cultural criticism" was a 2006 Lambda Literary Award and 2006 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award nominee[15] as well as the Passing The Torch winner from the New York University Press.[16]
