Black Sexual Prowess: The Truth Behind the World's Most Persistent Sexual Stereotype (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798189743429)

Why has the world believed for centuries that Black people-especially Black men-possess extraordinary sexual prowess?

Is it science?

Is it history?

Or is it one of the most enduring racial stereotypes ever created?

In BLACK SEXUAL PROWESS, bestselling independent author Frederick Amakom takes readers on a fascinating journey through history, science, psychology, culture, and media to uncover the truth behind one of the world's most widely discussed-and least understood-stereotypes.

From the writings of ancient travellers to the horrors of the Atlantic slave trade, from colonial pseudoscience to Hollywood, pornography, music, and social media, this eye-opening investigation reveals how a centuries-old narrative became a global cultural phenomenon.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

• The ancient origins of the stereotype
• How slavery and colonialism transformed myth into ideology
• Hollywood, pornography, and social media's role in spreading the narrative
• What modern scientific research actually says about anatomy and sexual performance
• Why psychology makes stereotypes so convincing-even when the evidence is weak
• How America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa view Black sexuality differently
• Why "positive" stereotypes can still be harmful
• What truly makes someone a great lover-and why race isn't the answer

Balanced, thought-provoking, and extensively researched, BLACK SEXUAL PROWESS challenges readers to separate evidence from assumption and individuals from stereotypes.

Whether you're interested in history, race, psychology, sociology, anthropology, media studies, or human sexuality, this book will challenge what you think you know.

Prepare to question the stereotype. Follow the evidence. Discover the truth.
