This one is a collection of essays, and I got to know about Amia from her essay with the same name which I read earlier. That essay (part of this book) was not very clear in communicating any idea but I was curious to read some more from her.
Rest of the essays in the book fails equally to deliver any clear concept. It quotes a lot of other writers, and famous court cases but doesn't really provide any original thought. It sounded so ambivalent that it can be interpreted in any direction, which is not an ideal format when you are talking about such topics.
On top of it, the whole narrative is so narrow that it just doesn't go beyond a preconceived notion of injustice, society, traits and politics. It promptly negates the other views which are not inline with the books concepts.
Maybe not the best one to start with but the readers can come back to it after some more mature work on the topics covered in these essays to see for themselves.
Peace
