By Far on the Lower End of The Spectrum for African American Quote Books,
By Lots "junewonder" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: African American Quotations (Paperback)
African American Quotation books are great tools-- mostly for their inspiration and for the broad range of subject matter and wisdom. This one is at the lower end of the spectrum for a number of reasons. There is more than a fair amount of hate in these quotes, particularly due to the mind-numbing over-abundance of quotes by Louis Farankaht. (Why?) Many of the quotes aren't by African Americans at all (Naomi Campbell, for example, is a favorite here). And the choice of Campbell's quotes are strange, particularly where they include a quote of her saying how she wants to be remembered not as a model but for the good she's done as a person (poor choice, considering that she's mostly known as a person for breaking the law and beating up underlings). The book is also poorly structured, and generally lacking. There are only a small amount of subjects covered, lacking in subjects outside of specifically racial issues.
