 Coming Up from the Down Low: The Journey to Acceptance, Healing, and Honest Love by J. L. King (Author) and Courtney Carreras (Author) (Hardcover - April 19, 2005) - Bargain Price ~ Other Editions: Kindle Edition, Hardcover, Paperback ~ King owns up to his bisexuality and his willingness to form more than a sexual relationship with another man. Men on the DL are confused about their sexual orientation and are reflecting the strong homophobic feelings in the black community, King maintains. But because of the health risks posed by the spread of AIDS by men on the DL, he advocates a focus on risky sexual practices rather than sexual orientation. King draws distinctions between white gay activists and black gay or bisexual men who feel the need to remain centered in the black community. He also takes issue with broader social pressures that define men in narrow roles as husbands and fathers, creating pressure to present a facade of being straight. By broadening his focus, King encourages analysis of the DL phenomenon beyond his own personal -demons. |
 CP Time: Why Some People Are Always Late by J. L. King (Author) (Paperback - Mar 13, 2009) Other Editions: Kindle Edition, Hardcover ~ Everyone has a story of being the victim of CP time. It's been responsible for the termination of jobs and relationships, and for delaying weddings and even funerals. CP Time is the first book to examine a behavior that crosses all social economic lines within the black community in a way that will bring smiles and groans of recognition to victims and culprits alike. In brisk, engaging chapters, J.L. King provides humorous examples and personal stories, voicing the opinions of those who view habitual lateness as just part of being black, and those who see it as a more serious problem. Recounting the reasons and excuses offered in CP time's defense, King provides a wry and often hilarious history of how and why the phenomenon began. Light-hearted yet enlightening, CP Time makes a perfect gift for the chronically tardy -- and all those affected by them. |
