That isn't why I give two stars though. (Maybe that gives it three stars...?) This book is just too little. It covers everything at a very high level, with very little to no expansion on the ideas introduced. While each chapter lists 'suggested readings', these are not e.g. end-noted within the text, so whether you agree or disagree (or merely are suspicious of, or 'merely' interested in) something, you kind of have to guess what you should follow up on. So the 'suggested readings' are less immediately helpful than they might otherwise be. The authors are themselves CRT practitioners/proponents/etc. but they are unable (or unwilling, or whatever) to shelve this; I come from the physical sciences so the complete and utter lack of anything even remotely like an unbiased presentation was continually distracting. The chapter on critiques was hardly a chapter at all, and a bit of hand-waving around the existence of 'internal' debate isn't helpful in the least. The fact that there is even such a closed of 'internal' debate is somewhat disturbing, again as someone coming from the physical sciences, used to operating where in an environment where not playing with all your cards on the table is considered the ultimate crime.
That said... it's a CliffsNotes for CRT. Which is useful. But I would prefer a much denser treatment, even in 'An Introduction.'… (mehr)
