NEW YORK, NY—APRIL 15, 2006—Stephen Earley Jordan II discusses race, social class, and gender issues in creative nonfiction, essays and poetry with his independently published book Beyond Bougie.
Beyond Bougie challenges modern perceptions of race, class, and gender, such as ". . . On Male Self-Image," an essay revealing eating disorders and narcissism as male disorders, and "How it Feels to be a Vanderbilt," a brief account of material slavery to name brand clothing. Other selections, such as "Why (K)not?" and "Bukkake: A Love Story,” capture the macabre vulnerability rooted in all humans through true tales of extreme dominance, subservience and betrayal. In "Let's Keep This on the Downlow," Jordan explores the preconceived theory that the phenomenon of gay males being married to women is not just a Black issue, but is portrayed as such by the media in order to effeminize the Black male because society is intimidated by him.
“I write about the deep-rooted wrongs that we encounter on a daily basis,” said Stephen Earley Jordan II. “It’s about recognizing and revealing cultural contrasts wrought by economical, sexual, and ethnic differences, and ultimately force one into an outsidership.”
Stephen Earley Jordan II wrote Beyond Bougie as a call to action, requesting that none of us ever accept less than our full potential. Beyond Bougie will be available for purchase at lulu.com, Amazon.com, and some local bookstores.
