Speaking Truth to Power by Anita HillMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Not only a memoir of the events surrounding the Senate hearings, Professor Hill discusses some very important topics of cultural significance: power, race, discrimination, Jim Crow history, sexual perception of black women, womanist theory, affirmative, institutional politics, affirmative action, race and sex issues within the black community, and academia politics. A very important history book to understand sexual harassment, race, gender, and class and how those factors interact in high stakes political affairs. It is the story of a small town young black woman who faced multiple challenges and survived to tell the story of survival against political opposition on a national level that was dedicated to destroying her instead of investigating the truth.
