Journal Article
The ““Top”” of the Heap: Race, Manhood, and Legitimation inMy Life in Porn: The Bobby Blake Story
2011
Overview
This essay considers the ways in which the life and career of the black gay porn superstar Bobby Blake reflect the tensions and dynamics of black masculinity as a form of social subjectivity. Analysis of his films in conjunction with his autobiography and scholarship on gay pornography reveals how Blake's primary commitment to a notion of black Christian manhood both in and outside of the church proper grounds many of the contradictions in his life narrative and public persona.
