The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity
Ratings37
Average rating4.2
An interesting exploration of some hot-button issues in our society today. I learned a lot from the "Trans" chapter and the author makes some compelling points. My one criticism would be that the author at one point criticises someone for cherry-picking "unusual events" as if they were commonplace, when the same thing could be said of the examples highlighted in this book, such as American students demanding the resignation of a professor. All in all, I enjoyed the book and was able to get through it in a couple of days which suggests it was well-paced.
