A profound, personally engaged anatomy of the codes that have shaped, and continue to shape, black manhood. Marlene Kim Connor reveals cool as a vital code of behaviors and attitudes that plays an often disregarded role in shaping the conception of manhood among young black boys. In this thoughtful, impassioned and provocative book, Connor uncovers cool’s history, explores its essence, and explains why, even though it deserves praise, cool often becomes an insidious force affective black American life today.
