Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-15 00:00:00 Justine Turner One of the most powerful texts I've read in ages. This is something I've been deliciously craving - real history from marginalized people, people who get ignored when it comes time to take a peek from a point-of-view. Overall, this book was full of sickening moments and periods in a chaotic time, told very frankly by hopeful, intelligent, and determined African Americans. There were a few bright spots peppered throughout, but only just enough to make the last page absolutely crushing.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-08 00:00:00 Tara Cleveland Necessarily a slog to read, insofar as all the arguments presented are inherently and foundationally wrong, building on each other in a towering Babel of terribleness; but also an interesting window into the origins of flawed intellectual frameworks that long outlived their original context.
