Pink Ribbons, Inc.: Breast Cancer and the Politics of Philanthropy Book

King's approach is academic, but not at all inaccessible. For a topic like this, where she's taking on some sacred cows, it's important that she support her arguments with evidence, which she does very convincingly, not polemically.

To me, this was not at all an argument against participation in philanthropy or breast cancer activism. Rather, she suggests that we become mindful of how our action is being channeled in ways that benefit corporations and pose little threat to government to address social inequities and environmental degradation.
