Mark Anthony Neal's Looking for Leroy is an engaging and provocative analysis of the
complex ways in which black masculinity has been read and misread through contemporary
American popular culture. Neal argues that black men and boys are bound, in profound
ways, to and by their legibility. The most "legible" black male bodies are often rendered
as criminal, bodies in need of policing and containment. Ironically, Neal argues,
this sort of legibility brings welcome relief to white America, providing easily identifiable
images of black men in an era defined by shifts in racial, sexual, and gender
