This book was interesting, clearly hugely influential, and complex.
But I don't think it's 'good'.
There's a lot of big ideas in there that get lost in the white man saviour of it all, without any self-awareness.

I'm glad I read it, but I wouldn't read it again. And god the last page really exemplified the writer's feelings about women.
