“This important and ground-breaking book engages questions of mothering and rearing young Black boys from a Black feminist perspective. Lomax offers a rare blend of compelling storytelling together with deep engagements with contemporary Black culture, history, and feminist theory. <i>Loving Black Boys</i> is a compelling defense of Black boyhood as a category whose integrity should be maintained. The adultification of Black children is a social crisis and this book offers an important corrective.”—Brittney Cooper, author of <i>Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower</i><br /><br />“<i>Loving Black Boys</i> is an impassioned case for a kind of Black feminist mothering that could bring forth Black sons who don’t rely on girls and women to serve as punching bags on their journeys toward healing. Lomax’s gift to us, to Black sons and our mommas, is one I’ve been waiting for all of my life. I am better because of it. The relationships of so many will be healed by this salve.”—Darnell L. Moore, author of <i>No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America</i>
