- Summary
- "Rita B. Dandridge's study examines sexual passing and homophobia in the black church community against the backdrop of a history of racism in America ... Dandridge's critical study of sexual passing in this novel is significant because it illuminates the cause of sexual passing in the black church community as neither African American novels nor lesbian romances have done." (Professor Freddy L. Thomas, Department of Languages and Literature, Virginia State University) "This work adds to the current academic conversation on identity by foregrounding the importance of race. As the author makes clear, a lesbian of color who is closeted and passes herself off as heterosexual experiences such "passing" in a way that is qualitatively different from the lesbian who is white, closeted, and passing as a straight woman." (Associate Professor Diann Baecker, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Virginia State University)."
