Summary

"Prominent journalist and lecturer Lawrence C. Ross Jr., through hundreds of interviews with college professors, industry insiders, and porn stars themselves, provides an insider's view of the often dangerous and disheartening reality of the black porn industry. He describes an AIDS crisis that threatens the lives and careers of several black porn stars, the racism that implicitly prohibits interracial sex scenes in porn films, the moral implications of black female porn stars working as escorts to wealthy African-Americans, the close ties that exist between the porn industry and the corporate hip-hop worlds - covering Snoop Dogg's adult film and R. Kelly's child pornography scandal - and much more."--Jacket.
