I just finished reading while gritting my teeth over many of the same things that you expressed better than I could.<br /><br />I was worried that every review would be praise out of reverence for the subject matter.<br /><br />I read the 2006 revision which cleans up some of the things you mentioned, while introducing new annoyances.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535001891464066349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690823.post-87459736622228933942007-08-02T11:24:00.000-05:002007-08-02T11:24:00.000-05:00Wow, I'm afraid I will have to skip this book comp...Wow, I'm afraid I will have to skip this book completely. I don't think I could be as kind as you are even as you critique the style. "Disco was without question the most powerful forum for women's expression during the seventies." What? Really? Disco? Tell that to Patti Smith. Or, say, Roberta Flack. Or, you know, Angela Davis or Adrienne Kennedy. I mean, I'm by no means a hater of disco, but for some reason I associate Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor less with women's expression than with gay men in the seventies.<BR/><BR/>Forgive that tirade, but I can't bear it when people use categorical words like "without question" or "obviously" or anything like that, especially when it's a statement that's easily disputed. Of course, I'm resisting publishing even one academic article because I'm afraid I'll change my mind after it's officially in print, so what am I yapping about? I'm even afraid to publish this comment!steigrrrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650745198356883558noreply@blogger.com
