shoshin's review against another edition

dark slow-paced

I read this book for a class. I was unimpressed by the overly academic writing style. I felt that it obfuscated rather than illuminated her points. It is very possible that I'm missing something about why she made that choice. I look forward to discussing the book in class to see what others have to say about it. 

The subject matter is very difficult. It's possible the writing style gave the author some needed distance from it.
