This biographical rendering of some of the author's major life events was wondrously done. She is someone who has been attacked - severely - and damaged. She is a remarkable person. ( ) Thoughtful and thought-provoking essays on feminism in action, racism, citizenship, environmental matters. and other things. I learned a lot here, including a bit about how the Houston floods were made more deadly by the floating detritus of the many many many Superfund sites in the region. This information ratcheted up my interest in Johnson's most recent book which is about the floods. For my friends who enjoy sharp beautifully written cultural criticism, I recommend checking this out. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"In 2014, Lacy Johnson was giving a reading from The Other Side, her "instant classic" (Kirkus Reviews) memoir of kidnapping and rape, when a woman asked her what she would like to happen to her rapist. This collection, a meditative extension of that answer, draws from philosophy, art, literature, mythology, anthropology, film, and other fields, as well as Johnson's personal experience, to consider how our ideas about justice might be expanded beyond vengeance and retribution to include acts of compassion, patience, mercy, and grace. From "Speak Truth to Power," about the condition of not being believed about rape and assault; to "Goliath," about the concept of evil; to "Girlhood in a Semi-Barbarous Age," about the sacred feminine, "ideal woman," and feminist art, Johnson creates masterful, elaborate, gorgeously written essays that speak incisively about our current era. She grapples with justice and retribution, truth and fairness, and sexual assault and workplace harassment, as well as the broadest societal wrongs: the BP Oil Spill, government malfeasance, police killings. The Reckonings is a powerful and necessary work, ambitious in its scope, which strikes at the heart of our national conversation about the justness of society."--Amazon.com.
