We Real Cool: Black Men And Masculinity black dolls Lumpkin and Carmine DWe Real Cool is bell hooks urgent and refreshingly untraditional take on Black men and masculinity. Black men, writes hooks, may be hated, feared, admired, or made the subject of sexual fantasy but they are rarely loved either by others or by themselves.
