Not for presenting things I didn't know before (because I'm a history teacher, so it's my job to know history and figure out how it relates to today, and because I teach on the West Side of Chicago and therefore also it's my job to have an understanding of institutional racism) -- but for presenting it in such an entertaining format. I had this book on my shelf for years...it's actually signed by the author, with another inscription by someone whom I am no longer dating...and when I finally got around to reading it I was surprised at how quickly I was able to finish it. ( ) Inga Muscio takes our imperalist, racist, sexist, ecocidal and genocidal culture to task once again in her latest book. Heartfelt, passionate, right-on and meticulously researched, Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil focuses intently upon white supremacist culture and its devastating, malignant repercussions. It is a must-have for folks trying to get a firm grasp on what's wrong with our civilization. Muscio has a gift for being so very real and honest in her work, and her amazing personality shines through in this book, giving the reader an intimate portrait of the author's struggle and pain in the face of such enormously mind-numbing and heart-ripping history. I have nothing but admiration for Muscio and nothing but praise for this latest work of hers. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"In an updated second edition of her widely anticipated follow-up to the cult classic Cunt, controversial feminist author Inga Muscio asserts that the history we learn in school and that is perpetuated in all areas of life in the US, is, in fact, a marketing brand developed by powerful people to maintain gross inequities. With Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil, it's Muscio's turn to take Americans on a tour through our history, from Columbus to today. Whose country is this? Has democracy ever really existed? With her trademark ability to deconstruct reality and expose truths that allow us to see our culture and ourselves more clearly, Muscio delves deep to answer these fundamental questions. Including chapters such as "God Told Me To Kill You" and "Postage Stamp Redemptions," Muscio offers new perspectives on histories that will shock even the most ardent alternative history buff"-- No library descriptions found. |
