Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-11 00:00:00 Bob James This is a college level textbook that I found after moving and have no idea when or where I picked it up. The essays contained in it are wonderful; James Baldwin, Walter Benjamin, John Berger and Adrienne Rich are just a few of the contributors. It will take me some time to finish this because the essays require reading, re-reading, reading again and thinking through the arguments. The essays are not new or recently composed, some of you may be familiar with them already, but I had read only two: "Notes of a Native Son" by Baldwin and "Ways of Seeing" by Berger. Both of these set(in my humble opinion) a high standard that is met by the others in the collection. Since you can tell I'm already deeply drawn into this anthology, you know I unequivocally recommend it but it'll have to wait till I finish Reamde.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-06-11 00:00:00 Ted Donosti Best anthology to teach freshman composition, though it is very likely that the freshmen think it's the worst. Selections are long and difficult, compared to other similar texts. Most of the selections are leftwing, though the average freshmen won't be able to identify the politics, even where, for instance, someone like Foucault cites Marx or Berger works directly with Benjamin.
