I read some of the Alice books when I was about 10. :snoop: Although they were funny, there was some content in there that I was surprised to find in a book supposedly for children. Also, Alice was just plain weird.

That's what I thought until I read Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging. My friend had been trying to get me to read it for so long and it was terrible. With books like that and shows like Skins, it's wonder how Britain doesn't have an increasing number of teen pregnancies.

It's a British series? I thought it was Phyllis was an American? My childhood friend at the time introduced me to Alice, and then NC-17 books that I had to hide under my mattress because the covers were so risqué. Gosh, pre-teen years were so hard.

Phyllis is American. I mean Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging was British.

I've read a chapters out of The New Jim Crow :up: Enjoyed her use of the bird cage analogy, which I now use myself. I also sat through a presentation about the book. The main reservation that I have with her logic is that: yes, there are racist perceptions and stereotypes surrounding criminality; yes, minorities are over-represented in the criminal justice system; and yes, minorities are marginalized; however, claiming the entire system is an extension of jim crow laws is berserk. There's more at play than racism.
