Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy32 reviews
Annette Gordon-Reed
University of Virginia Press, 1998
Very Skillful Lawyerly Presentation of History
This is a very solid and well researched book. The author makes a very thorough and logical presentation to prove her case. Much in the manner of a courtroom argument. It is effective. I came away from reading the book convinced that Jefferson, in all reasonable liklihood, did father Sally Hemings five mixed race children.
Sally Hemings was 1/4 African in descent, 3/4's European. By all ...

It's a great way to learn the basics of philosophy (Utilitarianism, Kant, etc) and get you thinking about the problems we face today. I'd never thought so deeply about affirmative action, animal rights, the death ...

Truly great study of the issues facing today's society and a Christian, a true Christian, response to those issues. This book is not, repeat IS NOT, for those Christians who claim to have and to know all the answers, those who are quick to judge and condemn, but slow to understand or accept the concept Jeus preached most--grace.

Visual Shock: A History of Art Controversies in American Culture (Vintage)4 reviews
Michael Kammen
Vintage, 2007
A History of the Culture Wars
Artist George Braque said, "Art is meant to disturb." This is a profoundly twentieth-century view of what art should accomplish, and clashes with the views of most Americans who enjoy going to a museum or contemplating a commemorative civic sculpture, and do not do so for any advantage of being disturbed. There has certainly been an acceleration of controversy in America regarding art; the ...

The Female Circumcision Controversy: An Anthropological Perspective3 reviews
Ellen Gruenbaum
University of Pennsylvania Press, 2000
FGM from the scientific point of view
An anthropological viewpoint is vital to understanding FGM or female circumcision. Surprise, it isn't just an Islamic rite (some Christians in Africa adhere to this age old tradition) Surprise, it isn't mandated in the Koran. Surprise, strong village tradition makes it hard for parents to say no to the practice or even to marry off their daughters. Surprise, some women agree to have it done. It's ...

The Rigoberta Menchu Controversy2 reviews
University of Minnesota Press, 2001
All-Opinions-Accepted, No-Holds-Barred
What makes this book important is that every essay is different. Some contributors side with Rigoberta Menchu, others with David Stoll, while still others take a bigger picture view and otherwise make significant contributions to the debate. What comes out of this book is that Mr. Stoll did not clearly explain the important points he was trying to make in "Rigoberta Menchu and the Story of All ...
