The Gospel Truth Paperback – October 15, 2014

Pignet fictionalizes the typical all "white people' are bad, except for a small minority, and all "people of color" are noble and misunderstood false narrative. What you really have is a privileged white woman exploiting blackness for personal gain. I don't see her writing about the exploitation and brutalization of women and children in Asia or work shops employing children in India. Why? That doesn't buy Prada shoes for her privileged lifestyle? What, did she watch "Roots" and say I can make some money off of a predictable and boring narrative that lacks any intellectual credibility? This book is dangerous as it doesn't address in any meaningful way issues of marginalisation and disparity between racial groups, rather Pignet is another privileged marketer that misrepresents and commodifies serious issues for profit. This was a painfully boring and ridiculous book. Shame Ms. Pignet! Shame! (less)
