Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-09 00:00:00 Brandy Cook Would give it 4.5 if I could. Good insight into both sides of the border. Focuses very heavily on economics, their causes and their outcomes. Some chapters highlight the changing roles of women, the sublimation of southern Protestants and divides based on identity grounds. Good and comprehensive, though not perfect.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-30 00:00:00 LJ Henry I don't have the background to entirely understand this thing, or develop any arguments for or against Badiou's work here, but for the most part I found it pretty fascinating and mind-bending. As usual for a philosopher of his ilk, he insists on making blanket, ill-considered political statements even in a book that is dealing primarily with set theory and the like. I don't think we need to believe that numbers are necessarily implicated in a system of political hegemony to want to answer the question of what a number is.
