![]() ![]() ![]() If your definition of anger consists not of deprivation of humanity but of the pointing to truth, your instinct to defend yourself does not make you in the right. Inevitably, this will lead to complaints about "anger" from the usual sort, but considering no one pulls this shit when slurs and threats of genocide are spewed across the table (freedom of speech for the Powers That Be always trump the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of the Powers That Be Not, dontchya know), they're full of it. The purging quality of the writing is tangible, and I can well imagine hooks' sigh of relief once the last edit had been sponged off and the publisher had finally acquiesced to the finished product. Reading this book is akin to pulling a tooth that needs to be out, and as someone who's had that done eight times, I know a thing about necessary discomfort and healthful dispossession. ![]() "If you want to read books that focus on black women, you better start writing and keep writing."4.5/5 ![]()
