My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The author's creative use of narrating 18 characters using a single frame over a two page spread was a challenge to read. The black and white drawings (incredible art from my point of view,) although void of facial expressions kept me engaged.

In Defense of Food

In Defense of FoodIn Defense of Food by Michael Pollan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I almost decided against reading the book after seeing a few of the reviews. This book is well written, well researched, easy to read and understand. An interesting read, not aggressive as a few of the reviews suggest. I agree with a large part of the narrative, we eat too much. Also, it requires time and money to eat the way the author suggest.

The author's advice; Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.

Black Sexual Politics: African Americans, Gender, and the New Racism

Black Sexual Politics: African Americans, Gender, and the New RacismBlack Sexual Politics: African Americans, Gender, and the New Racism by Patricia Hill Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I approached this read with the understanding that identities are always influx, complicated, and often times contradictory. The author does an incredible job proving her theory. The take-away for me was an understanding of how numerous theoretical frameworks assist us in engaging black sexual and gender politics within a historical and contemporary context.
