Why hate Abercrombie? In a world rife with human cruelty and oppression, why waste your scorn on a popular clothing retailer? The rationale, Dwight A. McBride argues, lies in "the banality of evil," or 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. Instead, in a collection of essays about such diverse topics as biased marketing strategies, black gay media representations, the role of African American studies in higher education, gay personal ads, and pornography, he offers the evolving insights of one black gay male scholar. As adept at analyzing affirmative action as dissecting Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, McBride employs a range of academic, journalistic, and autobiographical writing styles. Each chapter speaks a version of the truth about black gay male life, African American studies, and the black community. Original and astute, Why I Hate Abercrombie & Fitch is a powerful vision of a rapidly changing social landscape. Praise for Impossible Witnesses: "A necessary and compelling work. --Toni Morrison "McBride teases out complexity and depth heretofore overlooked. Don't miss this important text!" --Cornel West "Ambitious and thought-provoking." --The Journal of American History

隻看瞭同名的那篇,很失望。作者的論證基本止步於:A&F實體店的店員和宣傳冊頁、店員著裝政策的黑人可見度低,不接受黑人族群常見的發型等等,尤其是在和Ralph Lauren的視覺策略相對比,為RL辯駁說RL隻不過是想把美國中産階級著裝推給白黑黃在內的所有人,但A&F就隻是單純在塑造純白人的gay apparel,實在過於牽強瞭。難道Ralph Lauren的中産性還不夠白嗎?作者越是覺得A&F的審美白人中心無趣單一,這種清爽短發肌肉白人帥哥的形象日趨占據其他族裔gay審美中心位置的現實就越是讓作者的憤恨顯得尷尬
