520 1 $a"Bolstered by national television exposure on Oprah and a cover story in the New York Times Magazine, the "down low" - a term used to refer to "straight" men who have sex with men - was thrust into the open in 2004." "Keith Boykin, a former Clinton White House aide, goes beyond the hype with the first responsible, eye-opening look at the down low sensation. Unlike all previous accounts on the topic, Beyond the Down Low presents the "DL" not merely as a problem of gay and bisexual men living in the shadows but more as an example of America's unwillingness to engage in critical but uncomfortable conversations about black sexuality." "This book is a timely and well researched answer to the question, "Why are so many black men on the DL?" More importantly, it is an essential tool to pry open the closet door in black America."--BOOK JACKET.
