two decades after the Hill/Thomas hearings, this book remains highly relevant. i learned a lot about Thomas, i had no idea that he had few qualifications before being nominated to SCOTUS. aside from Professor Hill’s abuse and mistreatment at the hands of thomas and the all white male judiciary committee, the most horrifying part of this book is the story of thomas disparaging his sister for being on welfare while she was caring for a sick family member.

overall, i learned so much. each of the authors had a unique approach to analyzing the hearings and i felt like i’ve gained a thorough understanding of the event. please read this!!!
