descriptions in the first half of the book were so poetic and really spoke to me while being interspersed with really solid theory. second half of the book focuses more on an examination of historical forces impact modern experiences and the role of personal histories on impacting our identities

if more detailed descriptions of childhood sexual abuse are a trigger, they are isolated to the second half if the book other than brief mentions

frog_appreciator's review against another edition

5.0

From the foreword I was hooked. An uncomfortable and necessary read. It made me interrogate my privileged class position in new ways. I loved the section comparing pride and witness. I also appreciated the authors footnotes from later revisions. Class, race, environment, queerness, the author tackled the complexity of so many topics. This is absolutely going on my list of books to buy.
