Why I hate Abercrombie & Fitch : essays on race and sexuality

Dwight A. McBride examines the quiet way discriminatory hiring practices and racist ad campaigns seep into and reflect malevolent undertones in American culture. McBride maintains that issues of race and sexuality are often subtle and always messy, and his compelling new book does not offer simple answers.
