Iván Luna ivanluna_re — Angela Davis is pretty awesome. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it, and it’s basically a historical examination of the intersection of struggles against sexism, racism, and classism. Or, more accurately, against slavery and lynching, against capitalism, and for woman suffrage and reproductive freedom. I think it’s interesting how Davis, at this point in time at least, certainly saw socialism (rooted in anti-racism and anti-sexism) as the answer to capitalist oppression. I really liked how she kept all three together in focus throughout the book and could critically engage the work of activists for one cause in light of the others – like how Frederick Douglass’s campaigning against slavery included a keen analysis of the unique situation of black women, but Susan B Anthony’s campaigning for woman suffrage violently ignored all non-white middle class women, despite her personal relationships with Douglass and Ida B Wells.

Timothy Mullins _islove — You know what? I know Michael Chabon is supposed to be a great American novelist or something and if that I appreciate literature I'm supposed to worship the ground he walks on. But, this is my third Michael Chabon book and I just don't think we're ever going to be friends. I liked Kavalier and Clay a lot, except for that bit where they get mired in Antarctica; and I liked Summerland, except that it was just so focused on baseball. And I even like baseball. So, considering that I appear to like his style of writing, but not so much the things he writes about, perhaps I should have known that a whodunit/messiah story/Jewish identity struggle/alternate reality that hinges on a chess game might not quite be up my alley. However. I persevered. And it was really hard to follow. This was probably not helped much by the fact that I was listening to it usually a bit distracted as I rode around town. I did enjoy his style of writing--this story was packed with entertaining metaphors, and the reader did a great job of bringing the story to life. But I was relieved when it was over. If you are going to read this book, maybe you will enjoy it. Maybe you get along with Michael Chabon better than I do. But I would advise reading it when you have a week or something to devote to it before you have time to get lost, because once you're lost, you're not coming back.
