Kurzfassung:
"From Jesus to J-Setting details the experiences of Black Men Who Have Sex with Men - referred to by Sandra Barnes as BMSM - from ages 18-30 years old. The work examines "how the intersection of racial, sexual, gender, and religious identities influence self-expression and lifestyle modalities in this under-studied, often hidden population," exploring how racial and religious dynamics play out. Stories in the book "illuminate a continuum of decisions - from more traditional (i.e., Black Church participation) to non-traditional (i.e., dancing known as J-Setting and spirituality linked to social media) - and the corresponding beliefs, values, and experiences that emerge under the ever-present specter of racism, homophobia, poverty, and for many, ageism." Drawing upon "sociology, sociology of religion, black studies, queer studies, inequality/stratification, and cultural studies," Barnes explores the everyday lives of young BMSM and their "everyday forms of individual as well as collective resistance.""--
