Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by adrienne maree brown

informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

This is a collection of essays, interviews, and poetry focused on pleasure (mostly sex related) and the lack of it (sex-related trauma, recovery from chronic illness and its effect on one’s relationship with pleasure). It focused on providing diverse narrative voices, covering all different ages, voices, races, genders, and identities.
Some of this felt as though it was a bit too mushed together, a conglomeration that may have benefitted the interviewer/author more than the reader. I did love to hear the voices of so many different perspectives. I had to continue to remind myself that while most of those interviewed are accredited experts in their fields, some are mostly just friends of the author.
