UPDATE: I need to schedule this video to go live for Beducated at 2PM so the link will be down until then. I'm sorry about this inconvenience!
In this video, we'll explore the world of erotic literature penned by women, and most importantly examine the career of Zane in the context of 1990s black sexual politics. We'll also talk about Anais Nin, Anne Rice and Sleeping Beauty, and Fifty Shades of Gray mania.
