"I've read this book, a collection of interviews of African American intellectuals and academics, and cried. The stories are deeply moving; I especially like the interview with the theologian Katie Cannon, but they are all good. Lawrence's writing style isn't always as crisp as I would like, but I can empathize with her difficulty cutting down on such great material."
