February Leftovers 2022

Trouble Is What I Do by Walter Mosley

Sleeping With Strangers by Eric Jerome Dickey

The Trees by Percival Everett

One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying Democracy by Carol Anderson

March 3, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

These are my February leftovers, i.e. books that I read but didn’t give a full review either cuz I didn’t have time or didn’t have much to say. There are fewer than normal this month because Black Reconstruction by W.E.B. DuBois took up most of my time. Trouble Is What I Do **** Another good entry in the Leonid McGill series. It’s short and that streamlines the story more than its predecessors. I still read these as if Leonid is dead and NYC is his purgatory where […]

End in Sight

Burden of Proof; Invisible Cities; Shockaholic; White Rage; Ten Days in a Mad-House; The Haunting of Hill House; We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Scott Turow; Italo Calvino; Carrie Fisher; Carol Anderson; Nellie Bly; Shirley Jackson

December 19, 2017 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Burden of Proof – 3/5 Stars So this is a second of the “Kindle County” series books that Turow has been publishing over the course of the last 30 years. I reviewed the first one a few months back. This a “legal thriller” and starts with Sandy Stern (of Argentine Jewish descent, which comes up, repeatedly) finding his wife dead in the garage of a possible suicide. There is a note but few clues as to what might have happened. Over the course of the […]

Time For A Different Kind of White Rage

White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson, Ph. D.

August 17, 2017 by ASKReviews 4 Comments

Best for: All white people in the U.S. right now. In a nutshell: Dr. Anderson shares a concise history of all the shit black people have gone through because of the anger white people feel when black people start to make even a little bit of progress. Line that sticks with me: All of them. Seriously, I underlined, circled, or commented on all but maybe three pages in this book. Okay, fine, here’s one: “Somehow many have convinced themselves that the man who pulled the […]

Two books so close as to be indistinguishable

White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide; and The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color Blindness by Carol Anderson and Michelle Alexander

June 13, 2017 by ingres77 1 Comment

You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell […]
