Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-20 00:00:00 Komora Mwanika Interesting. Very interesting actually. Being a translation of a bunch of papers on Critical Theory, sourced from a conference in Italy there are a couple of problems with the translation & proofreading, but its not bad enough to obscure the intended meaning. It's a very wideranging survey of the Frankfurt school, emphasising the importance, in particular, of Adorno. All in all a good introduction though I would have liked to see more credit given to Lukacs. Personal favourite, due to my own education and background, "Hamlet could never know the peace of a good ending; Benjamin, Derrida and the melancholy of critical theory".

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-05 00:00:00 Muhannad Qasem Excellent book about theory which provided me with several lenses in which to understand my own work. Much of the theory is based around poetry and not overly useful to me but the parts more directly about race were quite remarkable.
