book reports that were more reasoned, more soundly sourced, and better written.
read it and then ask yourself why it was "temporarily" removed from the Princeton library until after the election.
Christopher Hitchens on Michelle's thesis:
CH: Well, yes. I mean, of course, none of us terribly want our undergraduate journalism, or even in my case, graduate journalism, be revisited. But here’s the thing. The first thing is the subject. She is a black woman at Princeton. And the subject of, the dissertation of the thesis is what it’s like being black at Princeton. I would submit to any fair-minded person that’s a slightly narrow choice of subject.
HH: Very.
CH: I mean, you can’t really claim you’re being educated if the subject of your thesis is what it’s like being me at this college.
HH: Agreed.
CH: So that, I find partly laughable, and I’d have to add slightly sinister.
HH: Now let me ask you about her…
CH: But on the other hand, okay, you get to write about yourself and your own predicament. Well in that case, you’re writing about something you know. So you should be able to be fluent, witty, self-deprecating, insightful, amusing, personal. Not a bit of it. It’s a trudge. It’s a hateful, lugubrious, boring, resentment-filled screed written in some very bad form of sociologies. The only think you can definitely tell from the attempt to read it, because I maintain it cannot actually be read, it’s a degradation of the act of reading, is that she favors, or views with favor, black separatism, or as she calls it, separationism.
