A dry political philosophy book that was work for me to get through, but I’m glad I did. It really made me think about truth, who is a reliable truth-teller, and how outsider truths can form connections and create community. More about Virginia Woolf than Chelsea Manning, and quite ironically very academic in tone, considering how Maxwell notes that academia-speak is one way of oppressing outsiders, legitimizing the military-security patriarchy. A book I’ll read again someday, in hopes I understand more of it.
