"With Emma Coleman Jordan, a law professor at Georgetown, Professor Hill has edited a solid collection of essays that explore the troubling issues the Hill-Thomas hearings raised: the stereotypes stalking black women, the uneasy relationships between black men and black women, the changes in the law of sexual harassment."--Susan Rieger,
The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education"Hill's eloquent writing on the controversy is consistent with what she said throughout the hearings, namely that she had no agenda other than to tell the truth about her interactions with a man who now sits on the highest court in the land."--
San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle"The story of the confrontation between Anita Faye Hill and Clarence Thomas continues to fascinate....
Race, Gender, and Power in America...collects essays adapted from a symposium at the Georgetown University Law Center on Justice Thomas's confirmation hearings.... Ms. Hill's own essay...is required reading for those interested in this historic confrontation; she relates cogently her view of what happened to her."--Neil A. Lewis,
The New York Times Book Review"In October 1991, Anita Hill testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding her sexual harassment charges against soon-to-be associate justice Clarence Thomas. In these essays, contributors Eleanor H. Norton, Charles J. Ogletree, Anna Deaveare Smith, and others take a critical look at that controversy."--
Library Journal"Overall, these essays are quite intriguing and will be discussed in conjunction with the ongoing debate over the many disasters of that cold October in 1991."--
