Book Reviews of Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought

Book Review: Intersting topic, Dryly written
Summary: 3 Stars

After seeing the author interviewed on Bill Moyers' show, I was really looking forward to the book. I was disappointed in how much it read like a text book; it was very dry and more of a chore to read than a pleasure. She did her research, she developed a cogent point of view, but delivered it academically.
