Affirmative Acts: Political Essays
These are individual essays so I am reading them in no particular order. What I can say is that although the first essay is dated 1990 (the year Nelson Mandela emerged from prison after serving 27 years), her essays could have easily been written in 2015. As one reviewer stated "... she says exactly what she means to say and says it powerfully. ... She manages to tap that place where race and sexuality, class and justice, gender and memory come together..." Rather than "tap," I'd say disrupt. Her essays (what I have read so far), are calls to action or at the least a call to greater awareness of how politics not only shapes our lives and how we live, but determines how well we can live and interact with others in this world. Her books are a prized addition to my collection of books and essays written by and about black women, history, politics and even academia.
