Talking to Strangers

This book is very problematic - only looking at a small slice of why we do the things we do and ignoring the bigger reasons (our social structures of race & power). There are some good interesting insights in this book (particularly for me the discussion of how alcohol effects women and men differently and the social constructs around our use of alcohol) but a lot just left me feeling that more of a disservice has been done with this book by not talking about the elephants in the room.

Other reviewers have said it better - read thru the negative reviews on Goodreads...
