2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre book from progressive black woman writer
This is a collection of political essays from a black female poet and scholar. I mean, this book is okay; it's just not excellent. It's decent cultural criticism, but there are many academics and journalists who have written better. This book is most often cited for its essay "A New Politics of Sexuality", but that essay isn't revolutionary in the slightest...

This review is from: Technical Difficulties: African-American Notes on the State of the Union (Paperback)
This is a collection of political essays from a black female poet and scholar. I mean, this book is okay; it's just not excellent. It's decent cultural criticism, but there are many academics and journalists who have written better. This book is most often cited for its essay "A New Politics of Sexuality", but that essay isn't revolutionary in the slightest. The book is filled with hokey essays about politics and acting too. You can find better books out there than this one.
