William July, II is an author to watch. In June 1996, he wrote and published "Brothers, Lust and Love: Thoughts on Manhood, Sex, and Romance". Armed with ingenuity, diligence, and a good dose of chutzpah, July turned himself into a one-man marketing and publicity machine for his book -- holding signings, hosting relationship seminars and workshops, and appearing on television, radio, the Internet, and in print. July's charisma and hardwork, and his book's timely message, helped Brothers climb onto two bestseller lists. Now, in Doubleday's revised, expanded edition of this underground sensation, July shrewdly examines exactly what's going on between African American men and women. He explains:
-- Why women expect too much from men and why men want too little
-- Why black men date white women and why some call them traitors for doing it
-- The five things most men want to change about women
-- The real reason it's so hard for black men and women to get along
-- How popular TV shows teach kids harmful stereotypes about couples
-- Why the black gender war is raging and how it can be stopped

An engaging and informative book, "Brothers, Lust and Love" reveals what every woman wants to know about her man, and what every man needs to know about himself.

""Brothers, Lust and Love" is a healing call for black men and women". -- Earl Ofari Hutchinson, Ph.D., author of Beyond O.J.: Race, Sex and Class Lessons for America
