Anyone read "Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil"?

[annakiss]

Has anyone read Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil: My Life and Times in a Racist, Imperialist Society by Inga Muscio, same author of Cunt? I just started it today and it is knockin' my socks off!!! Best quote ever:

For people of color and indigenous people living in the Americas "our democracy" has, on the whole, never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever existed.

The biggest difference I am able to presently discern between the old democracy and the present one is that the Arbusto [her word for Bush] administration has engendered a reality where the United States of Amerikkka is now in a constant, overt state of being undeniably and glaringly itself.

We're out and proud, livin' loud, waving forty-five-foot flags from car dealerships from sea to shining sea, and killin' us passels of sand n*&%er terrorists on their turf, which keeps them the f*&$ offa ours.

It's awesome. Go pick it up. Now.
















Go. I'm waiting.

Holy Moly!

[annakiss]

I got it from the library. I'm not sure when it was published exactly... it's in the other room atm.

I just finished that book the day before yesterday. I also got it from the library. It's late for me so I cant verbalize my thoughts, suffice to say it totally rocked my world (just like Cunt did a few years back)
Inga Muscio is an angel of radical thought. She rules!

Anna, that is so funny - you know, the Akron library doesn't even carry it OR 'Cunt'. : What up with that? I filled out a request for them to buy it, but I am not holding my breath. :

But, I read them both at the bookstore. 'Autobiography...' was great. She rocks, plain and simple.

[Unoppressed MAMA Q]

she's touring the US right now, i believe. check out her website.

[Lucysmama]

Yes, she is. I helped arrange a visit to our city.

[Unoppressed MAMA Q]

i started to do that and, um, soemwhere along the way, the ball dropped.

i'm intending to travel to a nearby city, maybe chicago, to see her and bow the fuck down.

anyone else going to go? i'll need a hug by the time i travel through all that.
