dark informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This is one of those books that will stay with me forever.

How can a racist woman call herself a feminist?

Fantastic Important and a Necessary read. This was me learning and understanding a different perspective therefore I cannot comment on it in the same way I could a non fiction book.

liaer's review against another edition

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

This book was excellent. Bell hook is a wonderful writer who is an expert at the English language. It was incredibly informative and was obviously very well researched. The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is because it seemed to jump around a little for me. It followed history, examining the slave trade, then slavery, then antebellum era, and onwards. However, I felt like when she was in each of these eras she moved around a little too fast for me. I would recommend this to everyone and anyone. 

Fair warning is that there are a lot of triggering content that can be deeply upsetting. I have tried to include all of the ones I could remember in the content warnings, but please go in with the expectation that there are things that are horrific, but important to learn about.
