I Love Black Power
AU$500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartGuenter Klow
Wilmington: Eros Publishing Co., 1972.Sexological race pulp by the prolific Paul Hugo Little under his Guenter Klow pseudonym with cover illustration by Bill Ward. Eros Goldstripe Global Press GK-38. A highpoint of 20th century sex pulp publishing. “For many, the spectre of “miscegneation” has long been an ugly word in the American vocabulary. Another favorite American myth is the legend of the Negro as an animal and an orgiastic sexual creature. In this documentary volume, Guenter Klow helps abolish the misconceptions and prejudices concerning “male Negro priapic superiority.” Tape-recorded interviews with nine interracial couples reveal their innermost thoughts and emotions and clearly demonstrates that love transcends hate and prejudice and bigotry. And so does passion, whether it be white or black”
