Review:i am only giving this 4 stars.
Not because of the research. It is spot on. Its due to the blanket assumption that this rage is directed to all blacks in America.
Middle and Upper middle class black built an insular society parallel to middle and upper middle class whites after slavery. When Jim Crow laws became too invasive, the fight for desegration began. Middle class women didn't ride the buses in Montgomery, but it had to be one because a pregnant girl or a dark skinned poor one was a ... Read more

Review:An important book for its message. Powerfully shows the reader the horrors faced by refugees and immigrants. Particularly important in face of the cruelty of current US administration. Could it have been better written? Yes. Does it matter? Not really. Everyone sitting in their comfortable home needs to know what it's like to be thrown out of that comfortable home. Read more

Review:The lessons of history recorded for us by Sollzhenitzn are pertinent to this generation, long after the fall of the Soviet Union. The same kinds of oppression arise over and over in various times and places. We were blessed to have this great author and true prophet here for some years. He has left a record for us and a warning in his address at Harvard (?) years ago when he predicted the kind of cultural and moral decline we have been experiencing and urged our nation to take responsibility to ...

Review:When the Newsweek editors decided to write a cover story about feminism in March 1970, it was a hot topic, just the sort of current events coverage that the news magazine was known for. The day the issue hit the stands, a group of women who worked at Newsweek filed a civil rights suit against the magazine. Newsweek was being sued for gender discrimination.

Lynn Povich, one of the few women writers at Newsweek at the time, was one of forty-six women filing the suit, and she has gathered th... Read more

Review:This is private eye William C. Dear's second stab (pun intended) at the O.J. Simpson case. His first book, O.J. Is Guilty But Not of Murder, quite frankly, was a self-congratulatory hagiographical piece of dreck. Dear's thesis in that book was that Simpson was an accessory after the fact, and took the rap for his son Jason. But most of that book was about William C. Dear, not the Simpson case. I bought this book, struggled with the first 100 pages or so, then stuck it in an out-of-the-way bo... Read more

Review:After loony Hitler and his acolytes killed 6 million Jews and millions of "undesirables" who didn't live up to Aryan standards, the Western World said, "never again." Ms. Power clearly shows how empty this promise was during the 20th Century. Her primary focus is on the United States due to us being the major superpower as well as a beacon to the rest of the world when it comes to human rights. The problem is we fall very short in the "never again" category. Heck, not only did U.S. Presidents co... Read more

Review:Napolitano tells it like it is, sparing the typical fluff you get from the network news analysts. This book provides the insights and template for reversing the insidious government "creep" that is choking what's left of the American Dream. Patriots Unite! Before it's too late. Read more

Review:Assigned as text for "Cinema as Art" class. The book is comprehensive. Photo captions are good. Prose is dreadful.
Sole virtue is its popularity among cinematography instructors. Grossly overpriced. Do not buy. Instead, rent
DVDs and study appended commentaries. Read more

Review:Ashton Applewhite is the new Betty Friedan or Kate Millet for the fight against ageism. Like the best feminist texts, This Chair Rocks explodes a lot of the myths about aging and ageism that we all take for granted and accept unquestioningly, especially that there's something shameful about aging--that we need to hide it and pretend to be young as long as possible. Just like women before feminism accepted male assesstment of their value, older people accept the younger society's evaluation of ... Read more

Review:Finally a book which deconstructs the lies of the NRA. It is worth the read for people like myself who want to see the reformation of gun laws to protect our citizens from an Afghanistan-like scenario of potential sudden, random and spontaneous death and the annihilation of supposed "Constitutionalist" groups.
