An Insult to Anyone's Intelligence
This is one of the worst books I have ever read. It goes in no apparent chronological order. These Stalinist aliens were obviously dreamed up by the author. The aliens do nothing but spew lies with no facts to back up their absurd claims. The book is poorly written, confusing, and an insult to the reader's intelligence. It is worth less than the paper it is written on. Save your money and spend it on a real book.
If you enjoy the meandering thoughts of a crazy person
This guy is a riot on Howard's radio show. He belongs in a mental institution. I could not believe someone agreed to publish this; it's obviously not that big of a publisher.

Given Chatterjee's tremendous breadth on such issues as gender, class, and ethnicity, one would hope for future research by her about academic sinecures for bourgeois mothers of color.
Many people are unaware of this phenomenon. Recently, women of color are being exploited as diversified pawns in the playing field of white male academia. After culminating their rights to motherhood, they are, in effect, phased out of the academy. They are still paid a solid middle class income, of coure, but are petered into nominal positions, teaching, say, one course per semester, thus minimizing their significance within the department's political landscape. (They are permitted to work only about ten to fifteen hours per week.)
This is just another disgraceful example of the dominant white male hierarchy imposing its oppressions upon middle-class mothers of color.
Once again, this is an excellent book. I highly recommend it.
