Zadie smith intimations6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() More than that, though, it masterfully captures many Black Americans’ pain and disorientation at having the white world begin to register en masse what James Baldwin termed the “dread, chronic disease” of racism in 1955. ![]() Intimations mirrors many white Americans’ shift from the stasis of quarantine to the sudden, incandescent rage of injustice. It’s worth reading the paragraph in full, if only to get a glimpse at the depth of Smith’s hard-earned exhaustion. I don’t think that anymore,” Smith concludes, devastatingly. I thought if that knowledge became as widespread as could possibly be managed or imagined that we might finally reach some kind of herd immunity. “I used to think that there would one day be a vaccine: that if enough Black people named the virus, explained it, demonstrated how it operates, videoed its effects. Titled “Contempt as a Virus”, Smith’s essay skilfully and effectively relates the virus currently plaguing America to the one that has killed and brutalised scores of Black people since the country’s founding: structural racism. ![]()

Enough book sharon jaynes6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In a review of McIntosh’s book, another scholar Insa Nolte, concluded that, “Yoruba women adapted their skills to support more widespread cultural notions as well as continuing their domestic roles” (Nolte). According to McIntosh in her book Yoruba Women, Work, and Social Change, she summarizes that independent roles were played by women on agriculture and trade until colonial ideas about “female professions” changed the career paths of women (McIntosh). I don’t think that they shifted negatively for women, I believe it gave women more opportunity to have careers that they wished. In Yoruba I found that as time has changed and more outside influences were in contact with the Yoruba, the more the gender roles in Yoruba shifted. I found that in over sixteen countries people believe that men have the first right to jobs, that they believe males are more fit for political positions, and that women should have children to be fulfilled (Weziak-Bialowolska). To get these answer, I began to read about the differences in gender normality’s across different countries. ![]()

![]() ![]() Not having even one sequence were slavery is shown as a bad thing is a grave error on the part of the writer. It mostly reads like a series of wasted narrative opportunities, or as a warning for authors that don't know what they want to say on their main subject. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either, that's why I'm giving it three stars. There's no answer to what exactly happened to Thorby's parents, or any development on the galactic politics that allowed everything to happen. Things just seem to happen haphazardly, and then the story ends. This is a terrible thing, because for a story about a slave boy finding his way in the galaxy, you'd think you would feel some empathy for the boy, but I never did. There are no scenes that make you feel truly sorry for him, and his character development isn't exploited. It's not bad, but I never cared too much about Thorby. This is my second Heinlein book (the first I read being "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress") so maybe my review is tainted by the enjoyable time I had with the previous book. ![]()
