Uncle

Winston James' "Uncle" is an interesting exploration of sexuality in a child, with race and class both as active factors.  James raises questions about how a child processes desire, and whether the child actually processes it at all, or is rather experiencing a cathartic attachment.  Does the boy, Jake, manifest his experiences with his older brother "shaving his face" in his emotional and physical reactions to his Uncle's presence?  Jake's exposure to male sexuality and power through the organs so early on in his mental development initiates a jumbled, frantic search for stability and answers in the young boy's head.  James does a uniquely good job of exploring the inner workings of the human mind when processing desire for the first time.
