Podcast: Play in new window
While I’m preparing for the African-American LGBT writer’s festival,Fire and Ink III, in Austin this October (and you should be, too), I wanted to make sure I speak with more authors who will be there.
Today, sociologist, sexologist, and author Herukhuti (full name, Aih Djehuti Herukhuti Khepara Ra Temu Seti Amen) joins me in a two-part conversation about his book, Conjuring Black Funk: Notes on Culture, Sexuality, and Spirituality Vol. 1 by Vintage Entity Press. The first ten minutes or so, we discuss growing up spiritual, queer, and black. Then, at about 11:12 in, we discuss the analytic framework that this book is built on called Afrocentric Decolonizing Queer Theory. This theorizing is necessary to really understanding the layers of the book. And while I’ve shared a written account about the book before, I want you to hear his thoughts and purchase his book at his website, www.blackfunk.org.
